How to set a 1-minute delay email

Dear @Luke Ford,

At present, the Schedule Send feature in the new Outlook cannot be configured to apply automatically to all outgoing emails. This capability is currently supported only in Classic Outlook for Windows.

As a workaround in the new Outlook, you can manually schedule individual messages by following these steps:

While composing an email, select the dropdown arrow next to Send and choose Schedule send.

Select one of the suggested delivery times or choose a custom date and time >

Once scheduled, the message will remain in your Drafts folder until the specified delivery time. Delay or schedule sending email messages in Outlook | Microsoft Support

Additionally, if your goal is to have every outgoing email remain queued for a short period (for example, one minute) before being sent, the supported method is to configure a deferred delivery rule in Classic Outlook for Windows. After you select Send, messages will remain in the Outbox for the duration specified in the rule before being delivered.

Open Mail in Classic Outlook> File > Manage Rules & Alerts > New Rule

Under Start from a Blank Rule > Apply rule on messages I send > Next.

Leave all conditions unchecked if you want the rule to apply to all emails, then select Next and confirm by selecting Yes.

Check defer delivery by a number of minutes.

In the rule description, select a number of, enter 1, then select OK.

Select Next through the exceptions page unless there are specific messages you would like to send immediately.

Provide a name for the rule, ensure Turn on this rule is selected, and then choose Finish.
