MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / August 2008How do I delay sending an e-mail to a later day/time?
When I have written an e-mail in Outlook 2003 how can I delay the sending of it to a later time? I am sure it must be able to be done as I can do it via my AOL e-mail. Thanks Press the Options... button when composing your message. Here you can set a "Do not deliver before" time and date.  SignatureRobert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more ----- When I have written an e-mail in Outlook 2003 how can I delay the sending of it to a later time?

Since you're using AOL (an IMAP account), not only must your PC remain on, Outlook must remain open. SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] I'm also using Outlook 2003 and checked the 'Do not deliver before' checkbox. Problem is the email is not sent at or after the designated time. My PC is on and Outlook is open and still the message sits in the Outbox? How can I fix this? > Press the Options... button when composing your message.

However lately, the emails just sit in the "outbox" and don't end up going out. Any suggestions? We're on 2003 as well. > I'm also using Outlook 2003 and checked the 'Do not deliver before' checkbox. > Problem is the email is not sent at or after the designated time.

The "do not deliver before" option is non-functional. Hopefully a member of the Outlook team will reply to us with an answer. > I'm having the same problem.

Define "non-functional". Does this mean you can't specify anything or that you can but it doesn't seem to have an effect? > Hopefully a member of the Outlook team will reply to us with an answer. Who is "the Outlook team"? This is a peer-to-peer newsgroup. SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] SEE BELOW > > I also have this problem, and I use Outlook 2003.

PUTTING A FUTURE "do not deliver before" DATE HOLDS THE MESSAGE IN THE OUTBOX WHERE IT STAYS INDEFINITELY, AND IS NOT DELIVERED TO INTENDED RECIPIENT ON OR AFTER THE DELIVER DATE. > > Hopefully a member of the Outlook team will reply to us with an answer. > > Who is "the Outlook team"? This is a peer-to-peer newsgroup. ANYONE FROM MICROSOFT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MAINTENANCE AND/OR UPGRADE OF OUTLOOK. I SUSPECT SUCH A PERSON DOES ACCESS THESE MESSAGES FROM TIME TO TIME. EVEN SO A REPLY IS NOT REALLY NECESSARY, ONLY A FIX. > PUTTING A FUTURE "do not deliver before" DATE HOLDS THE MESSAGE IN THE > OUTBOX WHERE IT STAYS INDEFINITELY, AND IS NOT DELIVERED TO INTENDED > RECIPIENT ON OR AFTER THE DELIVER DATE. Please, lose the caps lock. Posting all in caps is considered shouting. What type of account? Do you leave Outlook running? > ANYONE FROM MICROSOFT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MAINTENANCE AND/OR > UPGRADE OF OUTLOOK. I SUSPECT SUCH A PERSON DOES ACCESS THESE > MESSAGES FROM TIME TO TIME. EVEN SO A REPLY IS NOT REALLY NECESSARY, It is rare that anyone from Microsoft reads these newsgroups. It's not impossible, but you should consider that this is not an official Microsoft support channel. If you want Microsoft to act upon something you should contact them directly and open a support incident. SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] My account is on a Microsoft Exchange Server. Yes, I frequently leave my computer on at night so I can access it from home. Sometimes I also put my computer on Hibernate at night. I close Outlook only when I shut down the computer, once or twice per week.

If your delivery location is the Exchange mailbox, then you shouldn't need to leave your PC (and Outlook) running in order for the delayed send to operate correctly. The Exchange server should perform the function. SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] My outlook keeps putting a check beside delayed delivery, how do I remove this? It just keeps coming back the next time I go to send a message! Drives me nuts! LOL > When I have written an e-mail in Outlook 2003 how can I delay the sending of > it to a later time?
