At work my email is managed thanks to Google Apps and my personal email account is on Gmail. Gmail has many fantastic features but lacks an email scheduler. Most times we do not need an email to be sent out at a later date but there are special occasions when I wish we could just schedule some emails out to people.
This happens many times during birthday’s and also occasions like Diwali, Christmas and New Year.
Boomerang for Gmail Features
- Boomerang works as a add-on or extension with Firefox and Chrome browsers. It just adds an extra button which allowed me to schedule email at later times.
- As you can see in the image below, there are many options along with sending the email after a specified amount of time or even set specific time in the calendar. It can also be set to be sent out at a random time.
I guess this year I can schedule “Happy New Year” messages to all my friends well in advance thanks to Boomerang!

Hey, last time you shared a post which helped postpone mail sending by 2 minutes. But this one is really worthy for birthday and new year wishes too 🙂 !
There is also other services like [email protected] but that one is not worth enough. Nice Share!

@Joann: Unfortunately this works only with Firefox and Chrome. Internet explorer is not supported.
