How to schedule an email in Gmail

Gmail has added a number of useful features to its service and one among these is the option of scheduling emails. This new feature does what its name implies – it enables you to schedule an email to send later. You can write an email and then you can choose the date and the time you would like the email to be sent. Once done, the email will be scheduled and it will be sent on the day and time it has been scheduled for. You can schedule an email to 49 years in advance. While we don’t see anyone scheduling an email that in advance, we acknowledge that this feature is indeed very useful. Here’s how you can schedule an email in Gmail:
