Outlook Email Defer Sending for Just a Minute

I would wager and know that I would win that you have clicked the Send button in Outlook and then thought,

ʺOh, no! I forgot and left out !!!ʺ, or ʺ *!@!* I shouldnʹt have sent that ʺ

I know all of us have had a similar experience.

Well you can tell your computer to just wait a minute before sending, giving you a chance to have those second thoughts and rescue your mail (and in some cases, yourself)?

The catch is only in Outlook you can.

Hereʹs how: ‐

In Outlook, click the Tools menu and select Rules and Alerts.

Click the New Rule ... button.

In the Rules Wizard dialog box,

Click Start From a Blank Rule.

Select Check Messages After Sending. Click Next. Do not select any conditions so the rule will apply to all messages,

Click Next again. Click Yes when asked if you want the rule to apply to all messages. In ʺ What do you want to do with the message?ʺ,

Select Defer Delivery by a Number of Minutes. In Edit the Rule Description,

Click ʺa number ofʺ and set the Deferred Delivery setting to 1 or 2 minutes.

Click OK.

Click Finish.

Now every time you Send, the message will remain in your Inbox for 1 or 2 minutes,

So giving you a chance to recall, or change it.

That saved your bacon didn’t it ?
