How to Disable Excel Mail Merge Delivery Delay
If you need to send the same email message to a large number of individuals, a mail merge can significantly simplify the process. A mail merge incorporates Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Outlook by creating a message in Word, populating your list of recipients from a spreadsheet in Excel, then sending your message to the recipients through Outlook. You can even configure Outlook to delay the delivery to a specific time in the future. However, if you decide to disable the delivery and send the messages immediately, you can do so from within Outlook.

Tips & Warnings
Any message that you send through Outlook with a delivery delay will remain in the Outbox until the time when it is scheduled to be sent. This requires Outlook to remain open until the message has been sent.
