Delayed sending of emails is provided today by postal Mail services and Yandex, and in Gmail it is possible to configure the sending of emails on a schedule through an application for modern browsers.

This most useful function saves time and allows you to schedule sending emails on a schedule at a given time. For example, you need to send an important letter tomorrow, but you know that you will be traveling. In this case, you can prepare a letter and attached materials, specify the date and time of sending, and the mail service will send the letter according to schedule.

How to schedule a letter to be sent in Mail

In order to schedule a letter to be sent in the Mail.ru service, you need to click enter your Mailbox and press the button "Write a letter".

Specify the recipient, subject, text of the letter (if necessary) and add attachments.

To schedule a shipment, click on the clock icon in the toolbar, as shown in the screenshot, and specify the date and time of shipment.

The scheduled email will be stored in the folder until sent "Outbox", where you can cancel the sending or change the date and time.

Also enter the mail, prepare the letter for sending and next to the button "Send" Click on the clock icon.

Set the date and time and press the button "Send".

The letter can be found and edited in the folder "Outbox".

This is how you can quickly schedule your email to be sent on a schedule. Nothing complicated, but how they will help out. Especially when you know in advance what and where to poison. So much time is freed up at work))

Delayed sending of emails in Gmail

Unfortunately, mail users Gmail service There are no standard tools in the mailbox to schedule the sending of letters. At least at the time of writing this article there is no such possibility.

But it is possible to install the Boomerang for Gmail plugin, which does an excellent job of scheduling emails to be sent. In addition, it integrates perfectly into the Google Mail inbox.

You can download and install the plugin from the link above. And this is the video with official page will show you how this tool works.

Through this service, you can write a letter with a delay from 1 day to 100 years - not only to yourself, but also to a friend or even a stranger. You are free to attach a file up to 500 KB in size or a snapshot from a webcam to the news. By paying $7, you have the option to send a letter in paper form.

To use the site, you will have to register on it. Future-mail also has a section with letters that their senders chose not to hide from the public eye.

One of the most simple services of this kind. Write a message, indicate your name and email recipient, as well as the delivery date, and then wait.

The letter can be sent a maximum of 100 years in advance, but you should choose a shorter period: the site is based on pure enthusiasm, so it can cease to exist at any moment. However, the authors say that the costs of maintaining the service are minimal, so it is unlikely that it will close soon.

The project from St. Petersburg was born quite recently and has a much nicer design than many other services. The site stands out in that letters on it can only be sent a year in advance. Despite this limitation, more than 270,000 people used the service in a few days.

I invite you to watch another useful video tutorial on the topic Email. We'll sort it out new feature postal system Yandex, which is called “delayed sending of a letter”.

In ordinary life, we somehow don’t think about the fact that some letters are best sent at a certain time. Imagine a situation where you are sending some document to your management and you don’t want this document to get lost in the pile of other emails.

Usually, when the recipient comes to work and opens his mailbox, he sees a whole series of letters that have been “attacked” throughout the night and early morning. Even if your email is on this list, it may simply be accidentally deleted along with the advertisement, especially if you have a habit of sending emails without a subject line.

It's a completely different matter if your email will come, for example, at 11 o'clock in the morning. The addressee has already dealt with urgent matters, has freed up a little and therefore, most likely, will treat your letter more attentively and favorably.

Let's find out how you can write a letter “right now” and send it “when necessary”.

Gmail had enough standard features for me, with one exception. I didn't know how to send a letter by e-mail at the specified time.

In a standard mailer, we click the “Send” button and the letter goes to the recipient. We save the letter as a draft and it waits for the appointed time. But how to write a letter and delay sending?

For me, this function is important because it allows me to unload the list of tasks in MyLifeOrganized. It seemed to me faster to convey information to the recipient using a letter at a specified time than recording this task in MLO and then performing the action.

Google will help me. There were many proposed options, but they were shareware:

number of letters per month no more than 10
limited functionality

For full-fledged versions it was necessary to pay monthly in conventional units. The function of delayed sending of letters is necessary, but not so necessary that you pay money for it. I continued my search and found a free option that was easy to use.

My find was the SndLatr extension, which is currently called a beta version and is completely free.

You can watch technical aspects of how to install and use SndLatr in this short video:

I will focus on the issues of using the tool in conjunction with MyLifeOrganized.

Options for using SndLatr to send an email at a specified time

1. For assignments that I previously recorded in MyLifeOrganized and tracked using flags.

Making a pending letter takes the same amount of time as writing a task in the MLO. It is much easier to write a letter right away and set a delay than to create a reminder about the upcoming letter. In the second case, we also need to respond to the reminder.

Now in the MLO we write down what we expect from the person after receiving the letter. Everything has become simpler.

Usage example:

An application for money for household expenses is submitted to the accounting department every Monday. There is no point in sending a letter on another day, as the letter will be lost.

Previously, I wrote down tasks in MLO:

Submit your application on Monday
I'm expecting money on Tuesday

Now I immediately write a letter and set it to be sent on Monday. In MLO I set myself a reminder to wait.

2. To remind yourself.

When you don’t make a decision right now and want the letter to arrive later.

Example:

A letter arrived this afternoon announcing an interesting event. I want to discuss it at home with my wife in the evening. I put off receiving it for a few hours and remove it from my inbox. In the evening I will receive a second reminder that this letter has arrived. Everything is done with 1-2 clicks.

Earlier:

Opened MLO
I wrote down the task
I set a reminder and chose the time.

3. Use as a reminder to others about appointments.

In MLO you can set up a reminder by sending mail to other people.

Everything is great, but there are some disadvantages:

Difficulties setting up regular mail (I was able to link only mail from my website to my profile)
To send, the program on Windows must be enabled (with the development mobile applications MLO for Android and iPhone I use the application on Windows mainly for data processing)

With delayed sending, the email will be sent regardless of whether you are online or offline.

I consider using the SndLatr extension an excellent addition to a personal efficiency system

Pros:

Fast
For free
Reduces the effort and time spent on planning such reminders

Minuses:

It takes time to check reliability and reliability. Although this is not a minus, but additional control.
