Today’s featured tech tip….
How to schedule the future delivery of a Gmail message
Gmail is one of the world’s most popular email services so I make it a point to share tips for using it on a regular basis.
Today’s tip is this: If you compose an email but don’t want to send it immediately, you can easily schedule its delivery for a future date and time.
I use this feature all the time, primarily to send reminders of important occasions and events to myself the day before they take place. That way forgetful Rick won’t miss out on something important.
Of course there are many reasons why you might want to schedule an email to be delivered at some point in the future. Luckily, this is very easy to do.
This Google Help Center page provides instructions for scheduling emails for future delivery using a computer, an Android device or an iPhone/iPad. Just select the appropriate tab and you’ll be all set.
