What is how to schedule send in outlook?

Here's how to schedule sending emails in Outlook:

Outlook allows you to compose an email and schedule it to be sent at a later time. This is useful for sending emails outside of regular business hours, or to ensure they're delivered at an optimal time for the recipient. Here's how to do it:

1. Compose Your Email: Create your email as you normally would. Add the recipient's address, subject line, and the email body.

2. Delay Delivery (Schedule Send): The process varies slightly based on your Outlook version (desktop app vs. web version), but the core concept remains the same.

   • Outlook Desktop App:

     • Go to the "Options" tab in the compose window.
     • Click on "Delay Delivery". (A "Properties" dialog box will pop up. The name of this dialog box can change with outlook versions).
     • Under "Delivery options", check the "Do not deliver before" box.
     • Select the date and time you want the email to be sent.
     • Click "Close".
     • Click "Send".

   • Outlook Web Version (Outlook on the Web/Office 365):

     • After composing your email, click the arrow next to the "Send" button.
     • Choose "Schedule send" option.
     • Select a suggested time or choose a custom date and time.
     • Confirm your selection, and the email will be scheduled.

3. Check Scheduled Emails:

   • Scheduled emails are typically stored in the "Outbox" folder. You can open the "Outbox" to view, edit, or cancel scheduled emails before they are sent.

4. Important Considerations:

   • Outlook Desktop App Must Be Running: For the Outlook desktop app, your computer and Outlook need to be running at the scheduled send time for the email to be sent automatically. If Outlook is closed, the email will be sent the next time you open Outlook, as long as that time is after your scheduled send time. The exchange server sends this email. So if you use outlook with an exchange server, you don't need to have your outlook app open.
   • Outlook Web Version: With the web version, you don't need to keep your computer or browser open; the email is sent from Microsoft's servers.
   • Time Zones: Be mindful of time zones when scheduling emails, especially if you're sending to recipients in different regions.
