Any way to stagger the sending of email in Outlook online?

[Sonikku]

I use email at outlook.com and am trying to stagger the release of an email. Google says it's under Options, but I see no such thing under options and can only presume all online help pages have information that is obsolete. Does anyone know how to set a future day and/or time for sending out a message electronically?

The option you're looking for may exist only in the pay version not the "free" ad based version.

That doesn't delay the release electronically, it just stores it until you manually hit the send button. I'm afraid boomerang is probably correct.

Yeah i do remember using the delay feature quite a bit, i could see them crippling the free version of outlook.

I've never really used the online version of it but I did look at it once or twice out of curiosity.

In the lower right corner of the message window there is a list of add-ins. You can use Boomerang add-in to send later. (I have never used it so no idea how well it works)

As far as I know, this is added by default (I never added it as far as I know), but if you don't see it in the add-in list then you can add it from the office store.
click the Gear > Options > General > Manage Add-ins

Then click the + to add form office store.

I get prompted maybe once per week to move to the subscription version. I think they are actually running a promotion right now but haven't paid a whole lot of attention. Email is not a big part of my life. I have pared it down to the bare minimum.

My guess is that eventually there will be no free version. Perhaps instead of selling my soul to Microsoft I should have sold it to Google. One day one will probably own the other anyway.
