Delay SENDING emails in Outlook???

(1/2) > >>

javeryh:
How do I delay SENDING an email in Microsoft Outlook?  I know I can delay DELIVERING the email until any time I want (Options -> do not deliver before) but the timestamp on the email that the recipient sees will still show when the email was actually sent (not delivered).  Is there a simple script or something I can use to accomplish this?

Thanks!   :cheers:

Not sure if you can do that in outlook but take a look at automacrorecorder.  It will let you record screen actions such as mouse moves, key clicks etc.

You could record sending an email and then schedule the macro to run with windows scheduler and a bat file.

You have to leave the email up ready to send and the macro will click send.

Sort of.  I want to send an email out super late so it looks like I'm burning the midnight oil.   ;D

That's so crazy it just might work... although I wonder if MS has it's own internal clock that gets stamped on there AFTER hitting send... 

JMB:
System clock isn't going to help. If you are sending externally then it will get timestamped by the receiving mail server. If it's internal then it will show the received time correctly in Outlook. You would send it at 9:00 but it would be received at 7.

newmanfamilyvlogs:
You could always change the auto send/recieve time window to something really large. That way it won't actually hit the server until later.


Never tried it, but maybe set that to like 300 minutes or something.
