You can save time — and make sure your messages always go out when they\u2019re supposed to — when you schedule email from the Apple Mail app. You can set your mail to deliver at any date or time in the future, whether it’s next Monday at 9 a.m. sharp, in two weeks\u2019 time or even years from now.<\/p>\n
If you work with someone in a different time zone, you can schedule messages to arrive just when they start their workday, which is especially helpful if the allotted time is in the middle of the night for you. You can schedule a series of reminders for that one irritatingly forgetful client of yours. Or, if you work remotely, you can try (and risk) prewriting messages to your boss to maintain the illusion of regular work. You can even schedule emails to remind you of an important anniversary, years down the line.<\/p>\n

With Apple Mail\u2019s built-in scheduling feature, you can make this old standby work even smarter, with zero third-party apps required.<\/p>\n For a long time, Apple Mail remained a relatively simple email client while other email apps tried new things. Competitors like Mimestream<\/a>, Spark<\/a> and Mailbox<\/a> (RIP) innovated while Apple Mail remained bare-bones.<\/p>\n In recent years, though, Apple began beefing up its Mail app and adding features for power users. For instance, you can undo send<\/a> if you send an email too soon, use Apple Intelligence’s Writing Tools<\/a> to compose a reply for you, send large attachments<\/a> with Mail Drop, and use smart categories to sort your inbox into convenient folders.<\/p>\n Apple Mail\u2019s built-in scheduling feature fits right into that list. I\u2019ll show you how to take full advantage of it, helping you send reminders and timed messages without relying on third-party apps.<\/p>\nHow to schedule email on iPhone<\/h2>\n
