In Microsoft Outlook, you can delay sending an email using the "Delay Delivery" feature. Here's how to do it:

1. **Compose Your Email**: Start by composing your email as you normally would. Enter the recipient's email address, subject, and message content.

2. **Access the Delay Delivery Options**: Before sending the email, go to the "Options" tab in the ribbon at the top of the email composition window.

3. **Delay Delivery Settings**: In the "Options" tab, you'll see a section labeled "More Options" or "Tags" (depending on your version of Outlook). Click on it to access additional email settings.

4. **Set Delay Delivery Date and Time**: In the "Delivery options" section, look for a checkbox or button labeled "Do not deliver before." Check this box or click on the button to activate the delay delivery feature.

5. **Select Delay Delivery Date and Time**: After activating the delay delivery feature, you'll be prompted to choose a specific date and time for the email to be sent. Use the calendar and time picker to select the desired sending date and time.

6. **Finish and Send**: Once you've selected the delay delivery date and time, click "Close" or "OK" to save your changes and return to the email composition window.

7. **Send the Email**: With the delay delivery settings configured, you can now send the email as usual by clicking the "Send" button. The email will be held in your Outlook Outbox until the specified sending date and time, at which point it will be automatically sent.
