Write an email now, send it during business hours later. Gmail’s Schedule send can queue a message for a selected time, which is useful across time zones or when you are drafting outside a recipient’s workday. The scheduled time follows the timezone in which you set it, and delivery may happen a few minutes after that time.
Schedule a message
In Gmail, compose the email and add the recipient, subject and message. Instead of pressing the main Send button, open its menu and choose Schedule send, then select one of the offered times or choose a date and time. On mobile, Google documents opening the More menu in the compose window and tapping Schedule send.
Gmail stores queued messages in the Scheduled folder. Open that folder to review what is waiting. To make a change, open the message and choose Cancel send; Gmail turns it back into a draft so you can edit it and schedule it again. You can also cancel a message outright from Scheduled.
Do a final recipient check
Scheduling is not a recall feature. Once the email sends, the scheduled queue is over. Before choosing a time, verify the To, Cc and Bcc fields, attachments and timezone. Google says an email can send a few minutes later than the exact scheduled time, so avoid relying on it for a strict deadline.
Google’s help page says you can have up to 100 scheduled emails. If you cannot find a message, check both Scheduled and Drafts: a canceled scheduled message returns to Drafts.
Use Schedule send for convenience, but treat the final queue as a real outbox. A quick review before the send time can catch the wrong recipient or an attachment you forgot.
