Outlook - Delay or schedule e-mail sending Video
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.
