Hi all,
I saw a question with the title "Outlook 2010: delay send" in exchangesvrclients, thread c71ec6df-dde0-4ac1-a259-497cf8506c9e (I cannot post links). You'll manage the figure out the forum URL with that info :-)
That question wasn't actually answered in my opinion. Since I doubt if somebody will read that answered question, I like to continue on it. I have the same experience:
- When you send a mail on 08:43:42 (for example) and you have a rule that states that sent mail is to be delayed 1 minute
- The mail will be send on 08:44:00 (18 seconds later), and not 08:44:42, 1 minute later, as you would expect.
I tried to reproduce it. Same experience. So, i dragged the message out of the Outbox and opened it. If I do that, I see Outlook has actually filled in the time on the "do not deliver before" option, in my example for 08:44. Since that field cannot contain seconds, but just minutes, I have the impression that Outlook cannot delay mails for an exact minute since the submission (unless of course, the mail is sent on 08:44:00).
Is this assumption correct, and is this behaviour by design? And more importantly: did Outlook 2003 act differently? My users say so.
Thanks in advance!
