Enable/ Disable Outbox Delay

The Outbox Delay option lets you delay an email for a pre-defined duration, even after you hit the Send button. You can set the delay duration from 1 minute to 120 minutes. All the emails that you send can be edited or even deleted from the outbox, in case you change your mind before the specified time period elapses. The emails in Outbox will be moved to the Drafts folder in Zoho Mail.

The Outbox delay is an alternate way to Undo Send after you hit the Send button. Even if the outbox is enabled, you can use the Send Right Now option (Ctrl+Shift+Enter)/ (Command+Shift+Enter​) by clicking the drop-down next to the Send button in the email compose window to avoid the delay and send the email immediately.

You can also use the Send Later option to Schedule your email to be sent at a specific time. These scheduled emails will be moved to the Outbox folder.

Steps to enable/ disable Outbox:

  1. Login to Zoho Mail
  2. Click the Settings  icon.
  3. Go to Mail > Compose settings.
  4. Locate Outbox delay section.
    • Uncheck the check box if you want to send your emails without any delay.
    • Check it, if you want to send your email after a predefined period. In this option, you can set the delay period in terms of the minutes or seconds by which you want the email to be delayed.
      Outbox delay

Refresh your webmail to apply the changes. If Outbox is enabled, the email will be moved to Outbox, once you click Send. It will be sent after the specified delay time elapses or when you click Send Right Now in the outbox. In case you scheduled emails using Send Later option the emails scheduled will also be moved to Outbox folder and sent at the specific scheduled time.

All the emails in outbox can be sent by selecting the emails, and choosing 'Send Right Now' from the top menubar. The emails that have been delayed will be sent to the recipients after the chosen delay period even if you are not online. Apart from the normal emails, the Scheduled emails will also be stored in the outbox.
