Windows mail schedule email
Windows Mail, a built-in email client in Windows Vista and Windows 7, allows you to schedule emails to be sent at a later time. Here's how:
Method 1: Using the "Delay Send" feature
- Compose a new email as you normally would.
- Click on the "Options" button in the top-right corner of the window.
- In the "Options" window, click on the "Delay Send" button.
- Select the time and date you want the email to be sent from the drop-down menus.
- Click "OK" to save the changes.
Method 2: Using the "Send Later" feature
- Compose a new email as you normally would.
- Click on the "Send" button, but don't click "Send" yet.
- Right-click on the "Send" button and select "Send Later" from the context menu.
- In the "Send Later" window, select the time and date you want the email to be sent from the drop-down menus.
- Click "OK" to save the changes.
Method 3: Using the Windows Task Scheduler
- Open the Windows Task Scheduler by searching for it in the Start menu or by typing "taskschd.msc" in the Run dialog box (Windows key + R).
- Create a new task by clicking on "Create Basic Task" in the right-hand Actions panel.
- Give the task a name and description, and set the trigger to "Daily" or "Weekly" depending on your needs.
- Set the start time to the time you want the email to be sent.
- In the "Actions" tab, click on "New" and select "Start a program".
- In the "Program/script" field, enter the path to the Windows Mail executable (usually "C:\Program Files\Windows Mail\Windows Mail.exe").
- In the "Add arguments" field, enter the following command:
/send <email address> <subject> <body>
- Replace
<email address>
,<subject>
, and<body>
with the actual email address, subject, and body of the email you want to send. - Click "OK" to save the task.
Note: The above methods may not work in newer versions of Windows, such as Windows 10, as Windows Mail is no longer included in these versions.
