Scheduling an email in Outlook is a convenient way to ensure your message arrives at the right time, even if you’re not available to send it yourself. Here’s how you can do it on different versions of Outlook:

Outlook Desktop (Windows and Mac):

1. Compose your email as usual. Add recipients, subject line, and your message body.
2. Click the “More options” button (it looks like three dots) located next to the “Send” button in the ribbon.
3. Select “Delay Delivery” from the menu.
4. Choose “Do not deliver before” and select the desired date and time for your email to be sent.
5. Click “Close” and then click “Send”. Your email will be saved in your drafts folder until the scheduled delivery time.

Outlook Web App:

1. Start composing a new email. Write your message and enter recipient information.
2. Click the dropdown arrow next to the “Send” button.
3. Select “Schedule send” from the options.
4. Choose one of the suggested timings (This Morning, This Afternoon, This Evening, etc.) or click “Custom time” to set a specific date and time.
5. Click “Send”. Your email will be saved in your drafts folder until the scheduled delivery time.

Additional Notes:

• Regardless of the platform, you can always access and edit your scheduled emails in your drafts folder before the delivery time.
• Outlook uses your computer’s time zone for scheduling. Make sure your time zone settings are accurate to avoid any confusion.
• Scheduling emails is not available in the Outlook mobile app currently.
