Have you ever sent an email and then wanted to rewrite something seconds later or maybe make a quick change? I have and it ALWAYS happens 2 seconds after as you watch the Outbox move from (1) to (0) – too late.

Well, not anymore. Just follow this simple process (copied from Outlook Help).

1.     In the main Outlook window, on the Tools menu, click Rules and Alerts.

2.     In the Rules and Alerts dialog box, on the E-mail Rules tab, click New Rule.

3.   Under Step 1: Select a template, under Start from a blank rule, click Check messages after sending, and then click Next.

4.     Click Next again, and when you see the message This rule will be applied to every message you send, click Yes.

5.     Under Step 1: Select action(s), select the defer delivery by a number of minutes check box.

6.     Under Step 2: Edit the rule description (click an underlined value), click a number of.

7.     Enter a number between 1 and 120, and then click OK.

8.     Click Finish, and when you see the message This rule is a client-side rule, and will process only when Outlook is running, click OK.
