In Microsoft Outlook, you can schedule an email to be sent at a specific date and time using the Delay Delivery feature. Here's how to do it:
1. **Compose your email**: Start by composing your email as you normally would, including the recipient(s), subject, and message content.
2. **Access the Delay Delivery options**:
- In Outlook for Windows: Click on the "Options" tab in the email composition window.
- In Outlook for Mac: Click on the three-dot menu icon (More options) in the email composition window.
3. **Set the delivery options**:
- In Outlook for Windows: Click on the "Delay Delivery" button in the "More Options" group.
- In Outlook for Mac: Click on "Delay Delivery".
4. **Specify the delivery date and time**: In the Delay Delivery dialog box, check the box next to "Do not deliver before", and then select the date and time you want the email to be sent.
5. **Close the Delay Delivery dialog box**: After setting the desired delivery date and time, click "Close" or "OK" to close the Delay Delivery dialog box.
6. **Finish and send the email**: Once you've scheduled the email to be sent at the specified time, you can finish composing your email and click "Send" as usual. The email will be held in your Outlook Outbox until the scheduled delivery time, at which point it will be sent automatically.
By following these steps, you can schedule an email to be sent at a specific date and time in Microsoft Outlook. This feature is useful for composing emails in advance and sending them at an optimal time for the recipient(s).
