Yes it works well in Outlook 2007

Why don't you just turn off "Send immediately when connected" under Tools -> Options -> Mail Setup tab. Then enable a scheduled Send/Receive under Tools -> Send/Receive -> Send/Receive Settings -> Define Send/Receive Groups.

Hey Marty, thanks for the comments. When I turn "Send immediately when connected" off, I still run the risk of the X minute window timer coming active when I send a message I would like to be delayed. Setting the window to one minute sometimes only give me seconds to stop an email.

"Why don't you just turn off "Send immediately when connected" under Tools -> Options -> Mail Setup tab." LOL. A program to do the same thing as an option already present?

I am quite happy with the Tools, Options..., E-Mail Options.., Additional E-Mail Options... and the "Press CTRL+ENTER to send a mail" (or the like - I am a user of a German Microsoft Outlook) to have a ~ "Are you sure" kind of dialog-box that already has helped me a LOT thinking twice before sending.

This works fine with Outlook 2000 as well.

Hey Leo, I had that for a while, but like all constant confirm dialog boxes it ends up become part of the "short-cut". Shift-Delete then immediately enter has become the short cut for me to delete a file permanently.

Thanks, Bill. It works nicely, and gives me the courage to check the "send immediately when connected" option, knowing that your rule makes it "kinda sorta immediately."

i would like a default delayed send so people receive my email s only during business hours.

actually, I just have mine set to send/receive manually. So I can conveniently ignore my email :) I have never lied ever when I said, oh no i haven't received your email... and why do i do that? so i can stay in my bubble, keep my headphones on without having to be distracted by an email deee doo sound, or a little come up from the bottom right corner of my desktop saying this mail and that mail has come, or the "virus program connecting and scanning message number XXX for viruses (i have auto scan everything cuz it's just logical to me). I refuse to be controlled by my email. No way man... no how no way... I decide when i send, and when i receive... though I can also sit there and ignore a ringing phone, and even ignore the beep i have voicemail... I maybe a full techniphile, but I keep it in my mind that we built the tech, the tech didn't build me :)
