  2. Compose a new email as you normally would.
  3. Click on the Boomerang icon in the compose window (it looks like a small arrow).
  4. Select "Schedule Send" from the dropdown menu.
  5. Choose the date and time you want the email to be sent.
  6. Click "Schedule" to confirm.

Method 3: Using the "Delay Send" feature

  1. Compose a new email as you normally would.
