Tips and limitations
- When scheduling an email, make sure to set the correct time zone and date to ensure the email is sent at the correct time.
- If you schedule an email to be sent at a time when you're not connected to the internet, the email will be sent as soon as you connect to the internet.
- Some email providers may not support scheduled emails, so it's a good idea to check with your email provider before scheduling an email.
- Scheduled emails will be sent from your email account, so make sure to use a valid email address and password.
