Hi! Is there any way to schedule an email to be sent at a specific time via the phone app (outlook)?

[Selfmadeaesthetic]

So helpful!!! Especially for project emails needing to be sent out while off work lol

[StijnSmits]

Extra tip: Schedule for a more random time such as 9:12 or 8:53 so it would come off as 'natural' as possible

This is very useful! Thank you so much, one question for you is whether I can use the delay delivery on all emails in web based outlook, If yes could you include that in your next video

Your explanation is great, I came here trying to find how to set up a date then found out how to delay all my emails (I've been searching for this!! it helps me a lot cuz I don't have to recall them when I get something wrong...). I have question, if I send it on Monday and set "do not deliver before Friday", will the receiver see if the email was created/written on Monday? or will they only see that it was sent on Friday?

@Harry Lowton. Thanks for this amazing videos. Would you know the reason while outlook delay email will be sent twice? User had an outlook rule to delay messages from being sent for 2minutes so the stay in outbox. User made changes and after they were made she hit send again and after the 2minutes delay it was sent, user however reports they received 2 emails which includes the original email (could not locate in her sent items) and the updated message in sent items only reflect the updates email as being sent.

Thanks for the video. Is there a way to delay the delivery of all emails sent to the next day by a specific time?

[olindatime]

Can you confirm: for the Outlook Windows client delay send, do I need to have outlook open for it to send at the delayed time? My understanding is that if you have a delay send, close outlook, it won't send until you open outlook up again. Thanks.

Awsome. All the tips are super useful.

@Harry thanks for the video. Do you need to have Outlook open at the time you scheduled for the email to leave the outbox and be sent?
