I deal with many customers with my job.

I do not want to overload my servers on my hosting account sending massive amounts of Emails in one go. Is there a way for an outbox with say 300 emails ready to send to be modified to send one email every 5 or 10 minutes rather than all 300 Emails getting sent at once?

Try this add-on so you can schedule the sending of multiple emails:

There's another add-on that might work in current TB versions:

The Sent folder is for saving copies of messages that have been sent. The Outbox has messages that are to be sent.
