Managing email delays in MS Outlook can be frustrating, but understanding the causes can help you take control. A delayed email delivery can be caused by a slow internet connection or a full mailbox.
To prevent delays, you can set a reminder for when your emails are scheduled to be sent. This can be done by going to the "Options" tab in MS Outlook and selecting "Mail" from the left-hand menu. From there, you can set the reminder interval to suit your needs.
Regularly checking your email account's sending and receiving limits can also help you avoid delays. According to MS Outlook's guidelines, the sending limit is 30,000 emails per day, and the receiving limit is 10,000 emails per day. These limits can be adjusted by your email administrator if necessary.
