When I have written an e-mail in Outlook 2003 how can I delay the sending of
it to a later time? I am sure it must be able to be done as I can do it via
my AOL e-mail. Thanks
Press the Options... button when composing your message. Here you can set a
"Do not deliver before" time and date.

Do you know whether this option will work even if my computer is not turned
on during the time I request my message to be sent?

Only if you're using an Exchange account. Since you're using AOL (an IMAP
account), not only must your PC remain on, Outlook must remain open.

I'm also using Outlook 2003 and checked the 'Do not deliver before' checkbox.
Problem is the email is not sent at or after the designated time. My PC is on
and Outlook is open and still the message sits in the Outbox? How can I fix
this?

I'm having the same problem. I've used the "do not deliver before" function
many times. However lately, the emails just sit in the "outbox" and don't end
up going out. Any suggestions? We're on 2003 as well.

I also have this problem, and I use Outlook 2003. The "do not deliver before"
option is non-functional. Hopefully a member of the Outlook team will reply
to us with an answer.

PUTTING A FUTURE "do not deliver before" DATE HOLDS THE MESSAGE IN THE
OUTBOX WHERE IT STAYS INDEFINITELY, AND IS NOT DELIVERED TO INTENDED
RECIPIENT ON OR AFTER THE DELIVER DATE.

ANYONE FROM MICROSOFT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MAINTENANCE AND/OR UPGRADE OF
OUTLOOK. I SUSPECT SUCH A PERSON DOES ACCESS THESE MESSAGES FROM TIME TO
TIME. EVEN SO A REPLY IS NOT REALLY NECESSARY, ONLY A FIX.

Please, lose the caps lock. Posting all in caps is considered shouting.
What type of account? Do you leave Outlook running?

It is rare that anyone from Microsoft reads these newsgroups. It's not
impossible, but you should consider that this is not an official Microsoft
support channel. If you want Microsoft to act upon something you should
contact them directly and open a support incident.

My account is on a Microsoft Exchange Server.
Yes, I frequently leave my computer on at night so I can access it from
home. Sometimes I also put my computer on Hibernate at night. I close Outlook
only when I shut down the computer, once or twice per week.
Thanks

If your delivery location is the Exchange mailbox, then you shouldn't need
to leave your PC (and Outlook) running in order for the delayed send to
operate correctly. The Exchange server should perform the function.

My outlook keeps putting a check beside delayed delivery, how do I remove
this? It just keeps coming back the next time I go to send a message!
Drives me nuts! LOL

I am on Windows Live Mail and I am having the same problem. There doesn't
appear to be an option to delay the sending of an email. Can anyone help?
