I like “My Oh #$%^& Rule – 1 Minute Delay” and click Finish. In the Importance dialog box, choose High and click OK then click Next.I am using “except if it is marked as importance” and then clicking importance in the bottom section of the dialog box. Choose the checkbox next to the exception that will work for you.The only downside to this if you send an a “Thanks” note as your last email on Friday afternoon, you might mark it as High importance so you don’t have to wait for it to send. I have always used “except if it is marked as importance” and changed the importance to High.Here is where we will apply an exception.You cannot get the delay to be any less than 1 minute!.The Deferred Delivery dialog box will appear and already say 1.Now check the box for “defer delivery by a number of minutes and click on a number of in the bottom portion of the dialog box.You will be warned that this rule will be applied to every message you send, which is what we want so simply click Yes.Do not check any check box on the next screen and click Next.Select “Apply rule on messages I send” and click Next.From the Rules & Alerts dialog box click the New Rule button.On the Ribbon you will see a Rules button, click that button and select “Manage Rules & Alerts”.Open Outlook 2016 for Windows and navigate to your inbox.
