Are you a night owl who hammers out email after email in the wee hours of the morning? Maybe you spring out of bed at 5 a.m. and start firing off messages to team members, or spend your Sunday night catching up on email before the week starts.
That's great—for you. But there are probably some people on your team who would prefer not to deal with after-hours emails. Even if you say something can wait until morning, many feel compelled to answer right away. Luckily, Google now lets you schedule emails in Gmail, so you can cross things off your to-do list without bothering your coworkers.
Previously, Chrome extensions like Boomerang and IFTTT were the only ways to perform this task. Now Gmail users no longer have to rely on third-party add-ons. Here's how to schedule an email in Gmail.
Compose an Email
Quick Scheduling
Choose a Time and Date
View Scheduled Emails
Cancel Scheduled Emails
If at any time you wish to undo a scheduled email, there are two ways you can do it. Like the Undo Send feature, Gmail presents a pop-up message that allows you to undo the scheduled email immediately after scheduling. Click Undo and the message will go back into draft.
The other way to undo a scheduled email is to click into the Scheduled category and select the email directly. You can then tap Cancel send and the email will go back into draft.
