How To Schedule An Email In Outlook?

Have you ever had to send an email at an odd hour or on a weekend, and wondered how your recipient would view it? As a recruiter, timing is everything, and if you’re sending off an email during off-hours, your recipient’s perception of you could be impacted. 

The answer? Schedule your emails! 

This is a life-saver not only for recruiters but for anyone who wants to get their message across at a prime time. In this blog post, we’ll show you how to schedule an email in Microsoft Outlook - one of the most commonly used email clients in the professional environment.

Step 1: Compose your message

First, compose the message you want to send. After doing so, you can schedule your message to be sent at a later date and time.

Step 2: Click the Options tab

The second step is to click the ‘Options’ tab in the message. You’ll see a ‘More Options’ group, which includes a ‘Delay Delivery’ button. Click this button.

Step 3: Schedule your outgoing message

In the ‘Delay Delivery’ box that appears next, select the ‘Do not deliver before:’ checkbox, and select the date and time when you want your message to be delivered. Note that the timing is in the sender’s time zone.

Step 4: Customize your message options as desired

Once you’ve selected a delivery time, you can also select options like ‘Delivery Receipts’ to make sure you know when the recipient has received the email. You can also choose to track the message, where Outlook will notify you when the recipient opens the email. Your message is now scheduled to be delivered at the date and time you specified.

Step 5: Confirm your scheduled emails

To confirm scheduled messages, go to your ‘Outbox’. Messages that are scheduled will have an ‘‘oo’ clock’ icon next to them.
