The one Outlook rule you need to set to save yourself from awkward conversations.

It's called "delay delivery." You set it once in classic Outlook, and from that point on every email you send sits in your Outbox for a specific time (that you set) before it leaves.

If you spot a typo, realise you sent the wrong attachment, or wrote something in frustration you wish you hadn't, you have can a standard 2-minute delay to give you enough time to stop it.

Just delete the email from your Outbox before the timer runs out.

To set it up in classic Outlook:

1. Go to File > Manage Rules & Alerts

2. Click "New Rule" and pick "Apply rule on messages I send"

3. Skip past the conditions so it applies to every email

4. Check "defer delivery by a number of minutes" and set it to 2

5. Save the rule

This is better than Outlook's built-in "Recall" feature, because it works every single time.
