Hi Lakshmi,

You can customize Codes --> MS Outlook Email VBO  - Action Send Email 
Add below lines before mail.Send
mail.DeferredDeliveryTime = DateAdd("n", <delay in minutes>, Now)

Replace <delay in minutes> with amount of time in minutes need to wait before sending email wrt to current time.
Or you can replace "n" with below values as per need.

Hi @Emerson Ferreira,

Just a line of code is required to be added in Send Email Action before send.

mail.DeferredDeliveryTime = DateAdd("n", <delay in minutes>, Now)

This will set below delivery option "Do not deliver before" in Outlook and mail item will remain in Outbox till deferred time.

Regarding DateAdd function you can refer​ MS docs here.

Thanks Lakshmi, have tried to suggest workaround for your other query. 
You also might want to try latest VBO MS Outlook Email VBO from DX portal to send emails.
