CHLOE ALBANESIUS, EXECUTIVE EDITOR, NEWS & FEATURES Schedule emails in Gmail:

I’m a night owl, and I tend to get work done at odd hours. But no one likes getting work emails at 10 p.m. And firing off a request during off-hours means the message can easily get buried overnight. The schedule function in Google’s Gmail solves this problem. In the compose window, click the little arrow next to the Send button and select “Schedule send.” You can opt to send it at 8 a.m. the next day or choose a specific time and date. Scheduled emails live in the left-hand menu on the desktop, so you can edit or delete them before they go out.
