Thanks very much Doug. I'm using v. 8.8.9 and I have the same feature you mentioned above.
I'm not sure when it was added but it's probably been there for many years and I just never
knew about it.

Why don't you just write a message to yourself and see what happens?

Thanks Daniel that was a good idea.
I clicked on Send and immediately received a pop-up advising me of the delay before sending.

Thank you very much Daniel for this tip. I will use it in the future.
I just made a up a test e-mail to see how it would work, but one thing is confusing.
After I wrote the e-mail and went into the Options/Send Timing ...
and set a time and clicked OK I was back with the e-mail.

Now I didn't know what to do?
Do I click 'Send'?
Do I click 'Save message as draft'?

I'll tell you how I solved the problem yesterday.
I created a task in Windows Task Manager that would start The Bat at a certain time.
I just had to make sure that the e-mail account was set up to check for mail AND send mail

at the same time. So when The Bat was started up, it sent the mail at my desired time.

Thanks Zygmunt I found this feature but the delay is quite limited in time (minutes).

Very strange, there doesn't seem to be this function to delay sending messages for several hours.
I came up with another strategy to get around this using an external program.

Where would I go in settings to delay sending an e-mail for 8 hours?

Also is there a setting to send Parked messages on Startup?

Or is there a setting to send messages inside the Outbox at Startup?
