How to schedule an email in gmail

Scheduling an email in Gmail allows you to send an email at a later time, which can be useful for sending reminders, follow-ups, or messages that don't require immediate attention. Here's how to schedule an email in Gmail:

Method 1: Using the "Schedule Send" feature

1. Compose a new email as you normally would.
2. Click on the three vertical dots at the bottom of the compose window.
3. Select "Schedule send" from the dropdown menu.
4. Choose the date and time you want the email to be sent.
5. Click "Schedule" to confirm.

Method 2: Using a third-party browser extension

There are several browser extensions available that allow you to schedule emails in Gmail. Here's how to use one:

1. Install a browser extension like Boomerang, Sanebox, or Schedule Send.
2. Compose a new email as you normally would.
3. Click on the extension's icon in your browser toolbar.
4. Select the "Schedule" option and choose the date and time you want the email to be sent.
5. Click "Schedule" to confirm.

Method 3: Using a third-party email client

If you use a third-party email client like Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird, you can schedule emails using their built-in features.

Tips and limitations

• The "Schedule Send" feature is only available in the Gmail web interface, not in the mobile app.
• You can schedule emails up to 30 days in advance.
• If you schedule an email and then edit it, the changes will be sent immediately, not at the scheduled time.
• Some email providers may not support scheduled sending, so it's a good idea to test it before relying on it.
