Outlook Tip: Compose Now, Send Later

Outlook Tip: Compose Now, Send Later

By JC Kadii, Mortgage Virtual Assistant^SM

Let’s say you have a conference call with one of your real estate referral partners next Wednesday. Prior to the meeting, you want to send her a reminder as well as a note covering items you’d like to discuss.

Since you’ve just set up the meeting, your mind is full of ideas. The most efficient use of your time is to go ahead and write the note while the topic is top of mind.

Microsoft Outlook® allows you to compost your email now, and send it later. Here’s how you do it.

1. Prepare the email.

2. Click on your View Menu, and Select Options.

The Message Options dialog box pops up.

3. Place a check mark next to Do not deliver before: and select the date and time you want the message delivered.

4. Click Send. Outlook® will keep the email in your Outbox, and send it at the scheduled date and time. Of course, Outlook ® must be connected to the Internet when it is time to send the email.

Those of you who have used Microsoft software for any length of time know Microsoft provides many ways to accomplish one task. This is the quickest and easiest way I’ve found to schedule emails.
