Outlook - Delay or schedule e-mail sending Tutorial
In this video, you will learn how to delay or schedule email sending in Outlook.
The video covers the process of installing the Insights add-in and enabling the delay email delivery feature.
This feature allows you to write and send emails that will only leave when your coworkers are working, ensuring that you respect their right to disconnect.
The system will prompt you to postpone the sending if your coworker is outside their working hours.
This tutorial will help you effectively manage your email communication and improve work-life balance.

In the window that opens, select 'Apply rule on messages I send' and click 'Next'. 3. **Choose Conditions**: You can select one or more conditions for the rule. If you do not select any, a confirmation dialog will appear. If you click 'Yes', the rule will apply to all messages. 4. **Set Action for the Rule**: In the action list, select 'Defer delivery by a number of minutes'. Click on the underlined value to specify the number of minutes (up to 120 minutes) for which messages will be held before sending. 5. **Select Exceptions**: Click 'Next' to choose any exceptions if desired, then click 'Next' again. 6. **Name and Activate the Rule**: Name your rule and check the 'Turn on this rule' box.
