Outlook Tip: Write an Email to be Delivered at a Future Time

by | Apr 23, 2015 | Security

This quick tip is awesome for any multitasking attorney. If your short on time and want to write up an email now for a future time, Outlook lets you defer delivery until later very easily.

To do this, first write your email. Then switch to the Options tab and click Delay Delivery. This opens a windows with a “Do not deliver before:” field; enter a date and time, then click Close.

After you hit Send, the message will be held on the mail server until the specified time for sending. If you’re using an Exchange server, you can now close Outlook; if you’re using POP or IMAP you’ll have to leave Outlook open until the specified time for delivery has passed.

I've been working with law firms for many years simplifying their technologies while offering them the very best services & support. The model that I have created is based on the reality that IT sucks, and frankly, no one likes it. My experience tells me that this is especially true for law firms. In coming to that realization years ago I had to change the way I did business. Among many other services that we had to offer, in order to cater to law firms specifically, we had to become invisible and that's exactly what we have accomplished.
