How to Schedule an Email in Outlook (Outdated - Updated Video on our Channel)

UPDATE: Since recording this video demo, Microsoft have updated delay delivery so that the date and time stamp is the scheduled time it sends, NOT the date and time when you originally scheduled the email.

Your Outlook does need to still be open though for the email to send at the date and time set.

This video demo will show you how to schedule an email in Outlook to send at a later date and time.

Get it together Microsoft! The whole point of scheduling an email is 1. The recipient receives at a specified date & time. 2. You do not have to be logged/singed into email. We can't do either so "delayed delivery" is essentially useless.

Then there is no point of Scheduling if its still going to show the time i scheduled it, might as well wait till the morning to send. Gmail is much better because you can customised this.

Is this your idea of "delayed delivery", Microsoft? After all these years, you still don't get it...SMH...

just save it in draft and email it when you want it to go. what's the point of signing in again for a scheduled email??

What is the sodding point of 'delayed delivery' if it shows the original time you sent it rather than the scheduled time? What is the actual point of this function?

Get outlook on your phone, tap the 3 dots and then schedule send. Way more seamless process
