Method 1: Using the "Send Later" feature
- Compose a new email as you normally would.
- Click on the "Send" button in the top-right corner of the window.

- Select "Send Later" from the menu.
- Choose a date and time from the calendar that appears.
- Click "Schedule" to schedule the email to be sent at the chosen time.
Method 2: Using the "Delay Sending" feature
- Compose a new email as you normally would.
- Click on the "Send" button in the top-right corner of the window.

- A dropdown menu will appear with the option to "Delay Sending".
- Choose a delay time from the menu (e.g., 1 hour, 2 hours, etc.).
- Click "Send" to send the email at the chosen delay time.
