How to Use Delay Delivery for Your Outgoing Email

Now that you understand the 7 Reasons to use Delay Delivery for Your Outgoing Email, here's how to use Delay Delivery.

Microsoft Outlook users

  1. Compose a new email

  2. Go to Options > Delay Delivery > Check the box that says "Do not deliver before" > then select date and time

  3. Your email will sit in your outbox until the scheduled time

Note that for most users, the email will only be sent at the scheduled time if Outlook is open and running. To get around this, you can take advantage of a free app called ‘SendLater’ which allows you to schedule an email to be delivered even if you are away from your computer.

Gmail users

Use an app such as ‘Boomerang’ or ‘Yesware’.
