Macro to get around: Outlook Issue : "Send Time" time stamp information is incorrect when you send a delayed delivery message in Outlook

' UPDATED 20160302 to include capability to support specific Outlook Accounts, Set the ACCOUNT_NAME const to mailbox, macro will run in that context.

Download latest here: 

'******************
' This macro module was created because Outlook DeferredDelivery sets the SendTime to the time you click Send not the actual time  the email leaves the Outbox
' SEE HERE: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/247176

' So I created this macro, download below,

'   DeferSendWithRealSentTime
'   This Module will check outbox if item has DeferredDelivery time set then this macro will send that item to recipients with the REAL SEND Time

'   To automate this we use a periodic function via win32/64 Timer will poll outbox every 1 min
'   Items with Defered Deliv set and now is within 10 min of Defered Deliv, this will clone the email item, send it.


Example of how it works:
In Outlook:
Create new email set DelayDeliverTime to something like for example:
As an example Times:
DeferDeliveryTime: 3:00PM
now is 2:30PM
Click Send
At 2:50PM the macro will fire, the email will be sent to recipients and the SentTime will be 2:50PM and NOT 2:30!!!!!!! Voila the MS issue is fixed.
