No need to be in front of your computer to send an email at a specific time! With the web version of Outlook, you can easily schedule a message to be sent in advance. Convenient for planning your mail!
Sometimes you have to send an email at a specific time. Instead of setting your alarm to call you to order and inflicting unnecessary stress on yourself, use Outlook.com’s built-in scheduled sending feature. Like Gmail and other services, Microsoft’s online mail has an option that lets you schedule your emails to be sent. With this feature, you can write all your important messages in advance and schedule them to be sent at the date and time of your choice. No need to have to interrupt your activities to connect to your computer: an email written on Friday can be automatically sent in good and due form on Monday morning. Please note that this function is only available on the Web version of Outlook.com, via a browser: it is not present on the mobile applications for Android and iOS.
