Using Delay Delivery

Please remind me to do that. What do you do when people ask you to send them a reminder? Do you write it on a to-do list? Instead of adding it to your to-do list, immediately write the e-mail and send it via Delay Delivery. (NOTE: Outlook must be running and connected to your server/Internet access to send the delayed message. If you’ve logged off during the time the message is to be sent, the e-mail message will be sent when you log on to Outlook the next time, although it may be sent later than you wanted.)
