Depending on who you would like to communicate with, sometimes it is more convenient to schedule and delay your emails for another time. This gives you more time to re-edit the content of your email again if necessary and you can plan for less stress in the future if you can prepare your emails in advance! 

Watch the video below or follow these instructions: 

• Open a blank new email message in Outlook 
• Compose the email and ensure you have included a recipient and a subject line 
• Click on the icon next to the Send button highlighted in blue.
• Select Schedule Send
• Select the time and date you want from among the options, or:
  • Click Customised Time and select a more specific time to send the email.
• Click Send when you are happy with your email and scheduling settings.

It’s worth noting that Outlook must be open for a delayed email to be sent out. Ensure you have chosen a sending time when you know your Outlook will be running.
