\"Gmail<\/p>\n

On April 1 Google announced<\/a> that it was finally adding a \u201cSchedule email\u201d feature to Gmail<\/a>. The feature has been rolling out since, but as there are over 1.5 billion Gmail users around the world, it is taking a while for everybody to get the update. Don\u2019t worry though, it is coming and if you haven\u2019t got it yet, you\u2019ll have it soon enough.<\/p>\n

Gmail\u2019s new Schedule email feature will work on both personal and enterprise Gmail accounts and allows users to schedule emails up to a whopping 49 years in advance.<\/strong> Yep, if you think you\u2019ll have the same email address in the year 2068, you can schedule an email to yourself to see how things are going in the future.<\/p>\n

How to schedule emails on Gmail on the web<\/h2>\n

The new scheduling feature for Gmail is simple. So simple that it should kill off all those third-party apps and extensions that popped up over the years trying to fill the scheduling void that Google had left in Gmail. They\u2019re simply not needed anymore. All you need to do to schedule an email using Gmail is:<\/p>\n

Step 1<\/h3>\n

\"Writing<\/p>\n

Write out your email as you normally would.<\/p>\n

Step 2<\/h3>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Then, when you\u2019re ready to schedule it, click the small arrow icon next to the Send button.<\/p>\n

Step 3<\/h3>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Clicking Schedule send<\/strong> will bring up the menu that lets you decide when you want the email to arrive in the recipient\u2019s inbox.<\/p>\n

Step 4<\/h3>\n

\"Send<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve decided on the time and date, click Schedule send<\/strong> and rather than seeing the usual \u201cEmail sent\u201d you will see the \u201cSend scheduled for\u2026\u201d message including the time and date you\u2019ve selected.<\/p>\n

This is how to schedule an email on Gmail using the app on your phone<\/h2>\n

Step 1<\/h3>\n

\"write<\/p>\n

Write out your email as you normally would.<\/p>\n

Step 2<\/h3>\n

\"gmail<\/p>\n

Hit the three vertical dots icon<\/strong> next to the Send button and select Schedule send.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Step 3<\/h3>\n

\"gmail<\/p>\n

This will bring up the menu that lets you decide when you want the email to arrive in the recipient\u2019s inbox.<\/p>\n

Step 4<\/h3>\n

\"schedule<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve decided on the time and date, click Schedule send and rather than seeing the usual \u201cEmail sent\u201d you will see the \u201cSend scheduled for\u2026\u201d message including the time and date you\u2019ve selected.<\/p>\n

The new feature is also good if you\u2019re the type of user who constantly notices mistakes once you\u2019ve sent the email. Scheduling an email will save it as a draft<\/strong>, so if you always schedule your emails to send an hour after you\u2019ve written them, you\u2019ll be able to check everything a little later on before Google pings it off to the recipient.<\/p>\n

To check an email that has been scheduled all you need to do is click Scheduled<\/strong> in the side menu and then select the email you want to check. You can then edit the email to change out any mistakes or delete it and cancel the send altogether. At this stage, you can also change the time and date the email is scheduled to send.<\/p>\n
