OffHours for Outlook 365

This add-in ensures that emails you write after business hours and on weekends are delayed and will only be sent at the start of the next business day.

You can easily set your business hours modifying the recurring appointment "AllowedToSend" that defines when you want to send emails immediately and when you wish to delay them.

This appointment you have to create in the special calendar folder "AllowedToSend".
