Schedule Your Email to Send at the TIME and DAY

• Compose the email like you normally would.
• Click on the Options tab (Outlook 2003, use the Options drop down menu).
• Click the Delay Delivery icon (Outlook 2003, use the Delivery Options).
• The Message Options box will open.
• Under Delivery Options, check the Do not deliver before box.
• Select the Date and Time that you would like your email sent.
• Click Close.
• Click on Send – just as you usually would. The email will remain in your Outbox until the time and date you indicated.

TIP: When closing down Outlook, it will remind you that there are unsent messages and ask if you still want to shut down. Just say “yes”.

NOTE: You must have your computer turned on and Outlook open at the time you want the message to be sent for this to work. If you use Outlook Exchange, it is server based so you do not need to have Outlook open.

Once it is time for your message to be sent, it will disappear from your Outbox and move to your Sent items folder. Try sending an email to yourself at a later date and see how it works!
