Apple mail send later not working

Frustrating! The "Send Later" feature in Apple Mail can be a convenient way to schedule emails to be sent at a later time. If it's not working for you, here are some troubleshooting steps to help resolve the issue:

  1. Check your account settings: Ensure that your email account is set up correctly and that you have the necessary permissions to send emails. Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts, select your account, and check the settings.
  2. Verify the "Send Later" feature is enabled: Go to Mail > Preferences > Composing, and make sure the "Send Later" checkbox is enabled.
  3. Check for conflicts with other email clients: If you're using multiple email clients or apps, it's possible that they're interfering with the "Send Later" feature. Try closing other email clients or apps and see if the issue persists.
  4. Try sending a test email: Compose a new email and try sending it using the "Send Later" feature. If the email doesn't send, try sending it immediately to see if the issue is specific to the "Send Later" feature.
  5. Check your email provider's settings: Some email providers may have specific settings or restrictions that prevent the "Send Later" feature from working. Check your email provider's documentation or contact their support team to see if there are any known issues or restrictions.
  6. Reset Apple Mail's preferences: Sometimes, resetting Apple Mail's preferences can resolve issues like this. To do this, go to Mail > Preferences > General, and click "Reset" next to "Reset Mailbox Settings" and "Reset Smart Mailbox Settings".
  7. Check for software updates: Ensure that your Mac and Apple Mail are up to date. Go to System Preferences > Software Update to check for updates.
  8. Try restarting your Mac: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve issues like this. Try restarting your Mac and see if the "Send Later" feature works after restarting.
  9. Check for conflicts with other apps: If you're using other apps that interact with email, such as email clients or productivity apps, try closing them and see if the issue persists.
  10. Contact Apple Support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you can contact Apple Support for further assistance. They may be able to help you troubleshoot the issue or provide additional guidance.

I hope these steps help you resolve the issue with the "Send Later" feature in Apple Mail!
