Thanks for this tip – very useful.

For those of you using Outlook connected to exchange server, you need to be running in “Cached Exchange Mode”:

Go to: Tools | Account Settings

Select the “E-mail” tab, and then double-click on “Microsoft Exchange Server” (or select it and hit “Change…”).

Click “More Settings…”

Switch to the “Advanced” tab, and check “Use Cached Exchange Mode”.

This way, messages are moved to your Outbox, rather than sent to exchange immediately, and only moved into your Sent Items once the time has been reached.

You will also need to have Outlook open at the time the message is to be sent, and you’ll be warned that there are messages in your Outbox if you try and close Outlook before then.

BTW if anyone is looking for an easy way to send a delayed email and they don’t have outlook, well they don’t have to miss out.

You can schedule email for delivery here: schedulemail

Unfortunately the method described in this article shows the time a person actually hits “send” on a message in Outlook–not the time used in the option to delay to a future time.

I stay up late and often draft emails for work the next day. I would really like to be able to write an email at 2:30am and set it to send at 7:30am the next day.

Following this article, my test emails show 2:30am and not 8:30am. The email does not arrive until after the scheduled time, but the send header has the original time.

I guess I am going to have to break down and tweak my schedule

time delayed email…

So as to not appear too eager to reply to an email, I’d like to compose an email and have it auto-sent on a future date/time. And, I’ve been weaning myself to check email only once an hour or less. This should help with (increasing) my prod…

The date & timestamp of the delayed email sent via Outlook (not Outlook Express) will be the actual date/time when the email was sent. This will be no earlier than the future date set, but it may be later — depending on how often Outlook is setup to automatically do a send/receive.

Question: Does mail sent via the delayed feature in Outlook Express show the actual date sent/mailed or does it show the date of the mail’s generation? Can the date of sending the email be achieved? If yes, how can this be done?
