How to schedule an email for future delivery
Most everyone uses email these days and some email-related tasks have become so routine that we don’t even have to think about them.
For example, after you finish writing a message you just automatically click the Send button to immediately send the email to the recipient, right?
Well guess what? You don’t have to deliver every email to the recipient right away. You can easily schedule any email you compose to be delivered at a future date and time of your choosing.
There are countless situations in which it might be helpful to have an email delivered at a specific date and time. One popular use of this feature is the timely delivery of birthday greetings.
Let’s say you have an acquaintance who’ll be having a birthday in three weeks and you want to make sure you don’t forgot to send them a “Happy Birthday” email. You can type up your email now and then schedule it to be delivered to that person on the morning of their actual birthday. Pretty handy, right?
Luckily, it’s very easy to schedule the future delivery of an email with most email clients/services. Here’s how to do it with a few of the most used ones:
If you’re using either Outlook.com or Gmail just follow the steps below:
1 – Write your message (and select any attachments you might want to send along with it).
2 – Click the little arrow beside the “Send” button and select Schedule send.
3 – Select the date and time at which you want to the email to be delivered.
4 – Click Send (if you’re using Outlook.com) or Schedule send (if you’re using Gmail).
If you’re using Outlook 365 or any desktop version of Outlook you’ll find instructions for scheduling an email for future delivery on this page.
Most other email clients/services allow you to schedule the future delivery of emails as well. If you need help finding instructions for your email client/service just let me know by replying to this email and I’ll try my best to help.
