Mailbird offers a fantastic feature called Send Later which allows you to schedule when you would like an email to be sent - this means that you can plan exactly when the recipient of your email will receive it. Please note however that Mailbird requires two things in order for this feature to work as desired:

  • Mailbird must be open and running on your device.
  • Mailbird must have access to a functioning internet connection.

If Mailbird is not running at the time you have planned to send the email, or you do not have an internet connection, then the email will be sent the next time you have access to an internet connection while Mailbird is running.

Here's how to use the Send Later feature:

  • When you go to Compose, Reply or Forward an email as you normally would, you will notice a small Clock icon on the right on the Send button, as shown in the screenshot below.

  • When you click on the Clock icon, you will see an additional pop-out menu appear. Here, you will be able to choose exactly when you would like the email to be sent. The options are:
    • Tomorrow morning.
    • Tomorrow afternoon.
    • Monday morning.
    • Pick date & time.

 

When you select the time and date which works best for you, please make sure that you pick a time in the future when you know that Mailbird will be running, and also have access to an internet connection, otherwise the email will not be sent at that specific time.
