The Manager’s Best Friend
You can use Outlook to delay the sending of a message. This is a great tool for people who don’t want to forget to send an email but don’t want the recipients to feel obligated to reply over a holiday, weekends, etc.
These directions are for Outlook 2010. Please leave a comment if you’d like me to post a step by step guide for Outlook 2007.
Here are the steps for delaying delivery of a message in Outlook 2010.
1. Compose your message
2. Click the Options tab
3. Select Delay Delivery from the Options ribbon
4. Set the desired delivery date and time and click Close. You will see the message show up in your Outbox, as shown below.
Important Tip: Outlook must be open in order to send your delayed send messages when the time comes. Outlook is a pretty powerful tool but it’s not magic ;)
