How To Schedule Sending An Email In Outlook Web App?

Step 1: Compose A New Email

The first step to scheduling an email in Outlook Web App is to compose a new email. Once you have written your email, you need to click on the drop-down arrow next to the "Send" button at the top of the email.

Step 2: Click on "Do Not Deliver Before"

Once you've clicked the drop-down arrow, click on the "Do Not Deliver Before" option. This will bring up a calendar where you can select a date and time for when you want the email to be sent.

Step 3: Select A Date and Time

Select the date and time you want the email to be sent. You can also choose to set a reminder to notify you when the email has been sent.

Step 4: Click "Send"

Once you have selected the date and time for your email to be sent, click on "Send". Your email will be scheduled to go out at that specific date and time. Pretty easy, right?

Step 5: Make Edits or Cancel Scheduled Email

If you need to make edits to the email or cancel a scheduled email, go to "Sent Items" in your Outlook Web App account. From there, you can select the email and either make edits or cancel it altogether.

How To Schedule Sending An Email In Outlook Mobile App?

Step 1: Compose Your Email

First things first, you need to compose the email you want to schedule. Simply open the Outlook Mobile App, tap on the "+" sign in the bottom right corner, and select "New Email". Compose your email like you normally would, including the recipient(s), subject, and body of the message.

Step 2: Click on the Three Dots

Once you're done composing your email, don't hit send just yet. Instead, click on the three dots in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. This will give you a dropdown menu of options, including the ability to schedule the email.

Step 3: Select Schedule

From the dropdown menu, select "Schedule". This will bring up a dialog box where you can choose the date and time you want your email to be sent. The default option is "Pick date & time", but you can also select from pre-set time slots, such as "Tomorrow morning" or "Next week".

Step 4: Choose Your Date and Time

Once you've selected "Pick date & time", you can choose the exact date and time you want your email to be sent. Just like with the calendar app, you can scroll through the months and days to choose the date, and use the dropdown menu to select the time. Don't forget to double-check your time zone to ensure the email is sent at the correct time.

Step 5: Hit Send

Once you've chosen the date and time, hit "Schedule" in the bottom right corner. Your email will now be scheduled to send at the designated date and time.
