NOTE: These procedures only apply if you have installed Outlook with the
Corporate Workgroup/Other option. This option allows you to use Messaging
Application Programming Interface (MAPI) services. To determine your
installation type, on the Help Menu, click About Microsoft Outlook. In
About Microsoft Outlook, you should see "Corporate" if you have the
Corporate Workgroup installation.
SUMMARY
Microsoft Outlook provides the option to delay delivery of outgoing
mail messages when using the Exchange Server service. This article
describes how to set those options.
MORE INFORMATION
Use either of the following methods to specify when your message is sent.
These can only be used by the Corporate or Workgroup option of Outlook with
Microsoft Exchange Server as the mailbox delivery location.
Method 1
- In your open message, click the Options button on the toolbar.
- Under Delivery Options, click to select the "Do not deliver before"
check box.
- In the "Do not deliver before" box, type a date and time or display
the calendar and click to select a date. If you want to use a date
months in the future, click the arrow to the right of the month name
in the calendar heading and repeatedly click until the month you want
appears.
- If you want the unread message to be deleted, click to select the
Expires After check box and type a date and time in the Expires After
box, or display the calendar and click to select a date. If you want
to specify a date months in the future, click the arrow to the right
of the month name in the calendar heading and repeatedly click until
the desired month appears. Change the time if necessary. You may also
specify that the message is never deleted by clicking None at the
bottom of the calendar. Click Close.
- Click Send to transfer the message to the Outbox for processing.
Method 2
- In your open message, click Properties on the File menu.
- On the General tab, click Send Options. Click the Microsoft
Exchange Server tab.
- Under Send This Item, click to select In, type a number, and then click
to select an interval in the list. For example, if you want the
message sent in two hours, type 2 and select hours from the list.
- If you want the unread message to be deleted, in the Expire This Item
section, type a number, and then click to select an interval from the
list. For example, if you want the message deleted in two days, type 2
and select days from the list.
- Click OK twice.
- Click Send to place the message in your Outbox for processing.
When the delivery point is set to Personal Folders, the delayed mail leaves the Outbox and goes to Sent Items, but is actually waiting on the server to be delivered. When the delivery point is set to Exchange Server, the delayed mail stays in the Outbox until delivery since it is already on the server.
