Purpose
Outlook includes a "Delay Delivery" feature for email.
Many users want to schedule a meeting invitation for a specific time rather than send it immediately — but Outlook does not support this.
The DelayedMeetingRequest add-in allows you to delay sending meeting requests.
The application is a COM add-in compatible only with classic desktop Outlook for Windows. It does not support the new Outlook for Windows.
Current version: 1.0.2
Installation
- Exit Outlook if it is running. Then download the DelayedMeetingRequest-Demo.zip file, extract all files to C:\Program Files\IvaSoft\DelayedMeetingRequest, run DelayedMeetingRequestSetup.exe, and follow the instructions.
- Start Outlook and click File > Options > Add-ins. Select "COM add-ins" in the "Manage:" list box and click the "Go" button. Verify that DelayedMeetingRequest appears in the list and is checked.
Testing
- Create a new meeting. Verify that the "Deferred Delivery" tab appears in the ribbon. Select the "Do not deliver before" checkbox and choose the desired date and time. Fill in the required meeting fields and click "Send".
- Navigate to the Outbox folder and verify that the meeting request you just sent appears there.
- Right-click the meeting request in the Outbox. Note the "Send now" button at the top of the context menu.
- Confirm that the meeting request is delivered at the scheduled time.
Demo Version Notes
The demo version appends the tag "[DelayedMeetingRequest DEMO]" to the subject of each new meeting request; the full version does not.
Uninstallation
You can uninstall the add-in via Settings > Apps (called "Installed Apps" in Windows 11 and "Apps & features" in Windows 10).
