Have to preface this by apologizing for all the posts. I'm just in the process of expanding our database dramatically and... it's a lot. I appreciate all your advice over the years more than you know. BTW, is there a way to donate to the site? Would be worth every penny.

I know about the delay delivery function. What I'm looking for is a way to have outlook send, say, 100 emails in 100 minutes, as opposed to as fast as the connection can spit them out. Is that possible?
 
it is possible - there are addins that do it and i have a macro - my macro adds time to the current time, so it wouldn't be exactly 1 per minute but with the right formula, it could be.
This would be 1 minute from now:
SendinOne = Now + TimeSerial(0, 1, 0)
after the first message to set to that time, add a minute to it:
SendinOne =SendinOne + TimeSerial(0, 1, 0)



macro is here: Set a default 'Do not Deliver before' time (the method can be used in any macro that creates the messages)
Utilities are here: Mass Mail Tools for Outlook
 
There is probably a shorter line you could use*** by this will get you now + 1 min:
SendAt = DateSerial(Year(Now), Month(Now), Day(Now)) + TimeSerial(Hour(Now), Minute(Now) + 1, 0)

So you set that early in the macro then loop to increment it -
newsend = DateSerial(Year(SendAt), Month(SendAt), Day(SendAt)) + TimeSerial(Hour(SendAt), Minute(SendAt) + 1, 0)
SendAt = newsend

pretty much any vba that works with time in excel (and probably access) will likely work as long as you get it into standard format: 5/5/2017 1:18:00 PM

oh, and the macro assumes you are using send immediately. :)

*** if you are sending "today", Date + TimeSerial(Hour(Now), Minute(Now) + 1, 0) is shorter.
 
it could be an itemsend macro in thisoutlooksession or if using a macro to create the messages, the necessary code could be added to it.

i thought the speery and mapilabs utilities added the delays. others may as well.
