Scheduling future emails 2 be sent?

[robr]

I use Yahoo Mail. Is there a way to create an email and then schedule it to be sent at a future date?

succintly: no. sorry.

jmatt, i must have done it wrong. They ended up being sent from the PAST.

Yeah, they will be sent from the day you created them, not the day you want them received.

One thing you could do is have that site send you a reminder email (maybe including all the text you want sent?) the day before you want to send the email you need to send?

I don't know how much effort you want to put into this. And this plan may not work. Can anyone confirm or deny?

1. Sync your yahoo account through Outlook
2. Type the email and put it into the outgoing box but don't send
3. Set outlook to auto send/recieve on startup
4. Set a windows scheduler task to open outlook when you want to send the email.

Just out of morbid curiosity, why do you need to do this? Is it some sort of alibi issue?

This isn't quite the same, but might provide a suitable alternative:

"Oh Don't Forget" text message scheduler

Actually, the reason that I do this is quite boring.
I own a tuxedo store. I send out emails to the guys who will need tuxedos for weddings about 60 days before the actual wedding date. I currently put a reminder on my wall calendar that says "send out Smith/Jones emails this week". If I'm real busy, it gets pushed aside. If I could do them ahead of time, it would be helpful.
If I were to switch to Outlook, would this be possible?

Thanks for the explanation.

This will work for you.
