How to schedule email in Gmail

Scheduling emails in Gmail is a handy feature that allows you to send messages at the perfect time, even if you’re not available to hit send manually.

To schedule an email, compose your message as usual. Instead of clicking the Send button, click the dropdown arrow next to it and select "Schedule send".

Gmail will present suggested times, or you can choose a custom date and time for the email to be sent.

Once scheduled, your email will move to the Scheduled folder, where you can view, edit, or cancel it before it’s sent. You’ll also receive a confirmation notification when the email is successfully sent at the scheduled time.

This feature is ideal for communicating across different time zones, sending reminders, or automating messages for future tasks. Scheduling emails enhances productivity and ensures timely communication.
