We are currently testing the following on beta:
Scheduled Send Schedule your emails to send at a time in the future that is most convenient to you. Custom Swipes Choose up to 4 swipe actions to process mail from your touch-enabled device. Set it up on Settings → Swipe Options. |

Works well.
Except if you have scheduled something and want to edit it, you cannot do it in the Scheduled folder. You have to cancel the send which puts the email back in Drafts, edit and then re-schedule. I would prefer being able to edit in the Scheduled folder which would keep the scheduled time for send. Still, this is awesome! |

My HR department told me to use "send later" whenever I work after hours ... |

For my work, super helpful. On Thursday I can set a reminder to go out to people on Saturday for an event on Sunday. It arrives when it's helpful rather than when I have time to write it (or forcing me to work on a day off). I'll use this feature constantly.

You're also not allowing for possible delays in sending the email. |

I think akorvemaker’s idea is more like "Looking forward to seeing you tomorrw at our party/event/opening/whatsoever" as a friendly reminder… Last edited by misc : 28 Apr 2022 at 10:51 PM. Reason: fixed typo |

It's like when I buy tickets for a concert months in advance. The day before (or so) I get an email with all the ticket info. It makes my life easier. I try to do the same for people I work with. |

I use a reminder application for that sort of thing. It seems (to me) a bit obtuse to set up something to send an emailed reminder (which will fail if your device is offline or the email system is broken) to a device that could just remember the reminder all by itself. |
