Timing Your Email

New to your Gmail account:

You can time when you want an email sent from your school or personal Gmail account.

At one time, I would regularly type up emails and leave them in my Drafts folder until I was ready to send, usually right away in the morning.  Often it was because I was doing my typing well after business hours.  

Pick the time/day/year that you would like to send....
     - a thoughtful birthday wish
     - an important meeting note
     - a note to a colleague about an upcoming event
     - you can even send an email to yourself, but delayed

Open a new Gmail message and enter at least one recipient.  Type up whatever you want to send out.
Click on the down arrow next to your Send button


Set the schedule as you wish.

Pick the time, day, and year.  Yes, you can choose the year.  It will work as long as your email account is active.  


This feature was only available through an email add-on.  That's not needed any more.
You can change your mind, too, and cancel that scheduled message at any time.  However, once it's sent, there's no bringing it back.  We can't unstrike that match.

Send me a note if there is a special feature that we should be highlighting for everyone to use.  I'll add it to my blog on another post.
