Time To Make The Emails
Did you know that you can use Microsoft Outlook to make emails in advance
and have them go out automatically hours, days, weeks, months or even years
later? For example, let's say you want to send out an email about a team
meeting next Friday but you want everyone to receive it on Thursday.
Instead of waiting until Thursday to compose and send the email you could
write it now and time it to go out on Thursday morning. You could even use
this feature to schedule a reminder email to yourself about an upcoming
event or meeting.
If you don't use Microsoft Outlook for your email check the system you do
use for similar features. Also, please note that if you are using an
online, webmail version of Outlook or Outlook Express these directions might
not work for you.
Here's send a timed email in Microsoft Outlook:
1) Start a new email by clicking the button in the upper left hand
corner of the screen or press control plus the letter n from the keyboard.
2) For this example we'll have you send a timed email to yourself.
Type your own email address in the "TO:" line of the new email. If you
wanted to send a timed email to someone else or a group of people you'd type
in their addresses instead.
3) Under "Subject:" type in "It's time to go home" and type whatever
you want in the message area.
4) Now to set the timing. Look for "Options." in the toolbar and click
on it.
From the keyboard, press alt plus p followed by the letter d.
5) Tab across and in the box that appears check the box for "Do not
deliver before" and then set the date and time.
Make sure to read the date and time format that already in the box. For
example in the date box it will show 9/18/2012 if you are trying this out
today. To change this, type over it or backspace it out and enter a new
date in the same format.
6. Press enter when you have completed entering the date and time. You are
placed back into the message.
7. Press alt plus s or click on send and wait for the your message to
arrive at your chosen time/date.
6) Now click to send or press alt plus s to send this email to
yourself. If you did everything correctly you should get this email from
yourself at the time and date yu set in step number five.
