Tip #3246 - Send It Later

Send
It Later
Have you ever had
the need to just send it later? What am I talking about? Well, e-mails
of course! Sometimes situations occur where you need to type an e-mail
out right away, but it doesn't actually need to be sent out until a later
time. This happens to me all the time. I want to make sure I write the
e-mail as soon as possible to ensure that I get all my thoughts written
down, but the recipient doesn't really need to see the e-mail until a
day or so later.
So, what can you do?
Well, the simple answer is that you can send the e-mail at a later date
and Outlook Express makes this possible. Go ahead and compose your e-mail
just like you normally would and when you're done, go to File
and choose the Send Later option. Now, this will place
the e-mail in your Outbox and it will be sent the next time you hit the
Send/Receive button. So, if you don't want it sent until
the next day, it's important that you don't click that Send/Receive button
again until sometime the next day.
I wasn't able to find
an option like this for other e-mail programs, but that doesn't mean you're
left out. You can still create a draft version of the
e-mail and save it until you want to send it. This is even sometimes a
better way to do things, because it allows you to send the e-mail on whatever
day you want to. For directions on how to do this, click here.
Either way you do it, you've got some choices and it doesn't get any better
than that when it comes to e-mail!
