Schedule an Email for Later on the Gmail Site
On the Gmail site, you can schedule new emails you compose, messages you reply to, or those you forward to others. Here’s how it works.
View Scheduled Emails on the Web
You can review the emails you schedule on the Gmail website as well as cancel any that are scheduled if needed. Plus, you can see messages you’ve scheduled on your mobile device if you sync using the same Gmail account. Alternatively, you can choose the exact date and time you want. In the pop-up window, select Pick date & time. You’ll see a brief message on the bottom left of the Gmail screen letting you know your email is being scheduled. You’ll also notice an Undo option if you change your mind.
Schedule an Email for Later in the Gmail Mobile App
If you use the Gmail app on your mobile device, you can schedule emails there as well. This includes new messages, replies, and forwards, just like on the Gmail website. You’ll see all scheduled emails listed on the right along with the dates they are set to be sent. When you cancel a scheduled email, you can then access it in the Drafts folder. You’ll also see a message letting you know this display briefly on the bottom left.
View Scheduled Emails in the Mobile App
You can view scheduled emails and cancel any you prefer not to send later just as easily in the Gmail mobile app. This not only includes messages you schedule in the app but also messages you’ve scheduled via the website using the same Gmail account. Alternatively, choose Pick date & time to set a custom schedule. You’ll see a message at the bottom letting you know your email is being scheduled. You’ll also see an Undo option if you change your mind about sending it later. Any scheduled emails you cancel go to the Drafts folder where you can edit, discard, send immediately, or reschedule.
