Delay sending messages from Outbox

In outlook there was a feature to set length of time outgoing messages stayed in Outbox. Right now my messages are sending instantly. Does Entourage have this feature?

If you hit the Send Later button, your current message will be placed in the
outbox and will only be sent if you click the Send/Receive button or if a
schedule is set to send outgoing messages.

Alternatively, you could give Paul Berkowitz's free AppleScript 'Delayed
Send' a try:

In Outlook there was a request for message call back. For in case the sender sends an email to the wrong person .. Does Entourage have these help??

This question has nothing to do with the original message; please do not
hijack posts.

That being said: no, this feature is not available in Entourage.

Good answer! and to follow-up...

In Entourage 2008 there is no "Send Later" button but only a "Send Later"
menu entry from the Message selection when a new email message is being
composed.

Is it possible to add this "Send Later" selection, as a button to the main
toolbar or the toolbar on new email messages?

Hi,

yes, the Send Later button can be added to the toolbar. I must have done so
the minute I installed Office 2008 and forgotten about the fact that it is
not visible by default. Just ctrl-/right-click the toolbar and select
Customize Toolbar to add it to your own toolbar.

In E2004, cmd-shift-return is equivalent to Send Later. Does that work in
E2008 too?

Same shortcut, but it just sends at next scheduled send. Not a true delayed
send. IMO

It works fine if you don't have scheduled sends; just run the Send schedule
when you're ready! :)
OK, I admit that's not the way I usually use Entourage, and I doubt if most
other people do either. But I have occasionally turned off scheduled sends
when I've had a number of messages that I want to send at the same time,
e.g., student grades, which I can't send to a group.

Hello!

I'm having the same problem as well. I really liked the "Send Later" feature in the last version I had and I really miss it.

Following your advice, I did "ctrl-/right-click the toolbar and select Customize Toolbar." I looked around and did not see the icon/text for Send Later anywhere. What am I missing?

(I am not too keen on using Draft as the volume of e mails I produce make this inefficient. I could do command-shift-return as was suggested by another post, but I don't trust my non-tech brain to remember this. So I am really really hoping to be reunited with my "Send Later" button in the Toolbar.)

Thank you in advance for helping this tech-idiot!

If you want to send at a later date and not the next schedule, you can use a
script.

Delayed Send (Entourage) 1.0

These scripts enable you to save messages to be sent automatically on a date
you choose, or on regular repeat schedules.
