Tweet

Gmail even though not having the option of scheduling of emails still email can be scheduled in gmail using addons like boomerang or applications like lettermelater r by using pop3 r IMAP settings.


Some of the methods in scheduling email in gmail are --->


1) Boomerang is a addon available for chrome and firefox which allows to schedule messages to be sent after a set time and even allows you to schedule an exact time for the message to be sent.

 

Once the message is scheduled, Boomerang will store the email headers on their servers and sends it at the specified time.

Boomerang’s usability is not just of scheduling email messages in Gmail, it even offers the de-cluttering of your Inbox in gmail like by hiding certain emails and only displaying it after a certain time. This can be quite handy at times like getting notified from it automatically. 



People can get the Boomerang from their site

The main disadvantage of Boomerang is having access to the privacy of the gmail users who use it as it will have the messages stored in their servers.

However, Boomerang makes it clear that they only store the email headers of a message on their servers so that they can identify it, and do not store the email body other than that.
