How to Schedule Your Email in Gmail – Complete Step By Step Guide

Scheduling an email is an important feature that most of the email service providers tend to ignore. It is quite unfortunate, to be honest, that such a basic feature has been left out. What is email scheduling? Well, as the name suggests, it is the practice of drafting an email and then planning it to be sent at a later date or time. This holds tremendous importance for people who are busy and for people who are forgetful.

With this service, you can schedule greetings, wishes, and a lot more. For instance, you could schedule a birthday wish for a close one. Furthermore, with this service, you could send the email at the receiver’s most convenient time. You could be working on a very important task for your boss till very late night. You could schedule it so that it appears in your boss’s inbox early morning.
