Sometimes I write out e-mails ahead of time, but don’t want to send them until a later date. Is that possible? If so, how do I go about doing that? Please help!
Great question! Have you ever had the need to just send it later? What am I talking about? Well, e-mails of course! Sometimes situations occur where you need to type an e-mail out right away, but it doesn’t actually need to be sent out until a later time. That happens to me all the time. I want to make sure I write the e-mail as soon as possible to ensure that I get all my thoughts written down, but the recipient doesn’t really need to see the e-mail until a day or so later.So, what can you do? Well, the simple answer is yes, you can send the e-mail at a later date and Outlook Express makes it easy! Go ahead and compose your e-mail just like you normally would and when you’re done, go to File and choose the Send Later option. Now, that will place the e-mail in your Outbox and it will be sent the next time you hit the Send/Receive button. So, if you don’t want it sent until the next day, it’s important for you not to click the Send/Receive button again until sometime the next day.
You can also create a draft version of the e-mail and save it until you want to send it. That’s even sometimes a better way to do it, because it allows you to send the e-mail on whatever day you want to. For directions on how to make a draft e-mail, click here. Either way you do it, you’ve got some choices and it doesn’t get any better than that when it comes to e-mail!
