How To Schedule An Email In Apple Mail
Introduction
As someone who extensively uses Apple Mail, I have always been on the lookout for ways to streamline my email management. One of the features that I have found incredibly useful is the ability to schedule emails. This feature has allowed me to send emails at a time that is convenient for both me and the recipient. In this article, I will be sharing my personal experience with scheduling emails in Apple Mail and providing a step-by-step guide on how to do it.
What Is Email Scheduling?
Email scheduling is the process of setting a specific time for an email to be sent. This means that instead of sending an email immediately, you can schedule it to be sent at a later time. This feature is particularly useful if you want to send an email outside of regular working hours or if you want to ensure that your email is at the top of someone’s inbox when they start their day.
