Comments on: Delay the messages you send from Microsoft Outlook

Set the program to hold back outgoing messages for a certain number of minutes, or specify a delivery date and time for a particular message.

This rule will only work while outlook is open if its POP3 or from an extern account. The only way it remains on the server so you don't have to worry about it is if you are connecting to an exchange server and your client is configured NOT to be in cache exchange mode. If its in cached exchange mode the message will appear in your local outbox not your servers.

Why not just set up Outlook to open your Gmail account with IMAP? Oui? C'est Bon! :)

BUT -- the delayed message will be timestamped at the exact time you send the message to the waiting queue, and it will be delivered to the recipient's inbox in the order it was timestamped.

Hi ddeutsch30, You can anytime cancel the delivery of the emails which are in progress by right clicking on the status bar message which says "Sending Message" Right click and click cancel.

You can also right click on the System bar icon and click "Cancel Server Request" This will stop the transition of message.
