Method 3: Using the "Set-Delay" cmdlet in PowerShell

1. Open PowerShell as an administrator.
2. Run the following command to delay the delivery of emails by a specified number of minutes:

   Set-Delay -Identity <recipient> -Delay <delay_time>

   Replace <recipient> with the email address of the recipient you want to delay, and <delay_time> with the number of minutes you want to delay the delivery.

Method 4: Using the "Set-TransportRule" cmdlet in PowerShell

1. Open PowerShell as an administrator.
2. Run the following command to create a transport rule that delays the delivery of emails:

   Set-TransportRule -Name <rule_name> -Conditions @{SenderDomain -eq "<domain>"} -Actions @{DelayDelivery = <delay_time>}

   Replace <rule_name> with a name for the rule, <domain> with the domain you want to delay, and <delay_time> with the number of minutes you want to delay the delivery.

Note: The above methods can be used to delay the delivery of emails for a specific recipient, domain, or group of recipients. You can also use these methods to delay the delivery of emails based on specific conditions, such as the sender's email address or the subject of the email.
