Scheduling Sending Emails in Microsoft Outlook

Video Transcript

"Hi, I am Gary for Expert Village. Let me show you how to compose an email and schedule it to be sent at a later time. The easiest way, there is a few ways to do this. The easiest way is to compose your email and once you are finished composing an email just go ahead and click on the X to close it and you will automatically be prompted to save it. And if you click on Yes, the email will then be saved in a drafts folder that appears in the Outlook tool box. We see that we have a folder called drafts and if we click on it we see that that email we composed is sitting in our drafts folder waiting to be either edited or sent whenever we want. So that will stay there. Another way to schedule an email to be sent at a later time would be to, when we compose a new email, in the window we see a button for options and we will go ahead and click on that and we get another roll down menu, click on options again and we see that there is an option over here to select a time to have that email delivered. So here we can go ahead and check the box that says do not deliver before on such and such date and then we know that as long as the computer is open and Outlook is running, that email will automatically be sent at that date and time. So it is a very convenient way to have an email automatically sent a later time."
