Schedule an Email to Send Later in Outlook

Outlook gives you the ability to choose the exact time at which you want your email to be delivered.

1. Compose a message for the recipient. Create a new message, reply to an existing message, or forward an existing message. Message creation is simple.
2. Select the Options option from the drop-down menu.
3. Delay delivery can be selected from the More Options drop-down menu.
4. The box labeled “Do not deliver before” should be selected in the Properties dialog box.
5. Choose the day and time when the message will be delivered.
6. Click on the X to close the window.
7. In the message window, press the Send button.

This will place your message in the Outbox until the time stated in the message is reached, at which point it will be despatched to the appropriate recipient.
