The team at Readdle continues adding functionality into Spark that sets it apart as a true productivity-focused email client. It’s easy from there to open the original email and send a quick follow-up. When your set follow-up point arrives, if you haven’t received a response yet, the sent message reappears at the top of your inbox with an icon denoting it’s a reminder. Integrating this function within an email client is exactly the right move, and Spark does it well. Important: Your emails will be sent based on the timezone you schedule them in. Scheduled emails may be sent a few minutes after the scheduled time. The problem with this approach is that it requires two apps, and that my task manager has no way of communicating with my email inbox – it doesn’t know if I received a response to the message or not, meaning I may end up with an unnecessary task on my list. You can schedule your emails to send at a later time. In the past I’ve tackled this problem by pairing my email client with a task manager, such that after sending an important, time-sensitive message, I would assign myself a task to follow up with a second email on a certain date in the future. This feature serves to stifle a key pain point I’ve regularly encountered in email management: reminding me to follow up on an email when I don’t receive a response. With follow-up reminders, there are five default options joining the custom date picker: Later Today, This Evening, Tomorrow, Weekend, and Next Week. Once you schedule the delivery time, Spark will take care of the rest. Thankfully, you can also set a custom date and time. Perhaps the most common use case will be responding to emails late at night and wanting them to send as soon as the next work day kicks off, which the Tomorrow option is perfect for. When composing an email, hitting the send later button in the compose bar will present several default options for when you’d like the message sent: Later Today, This Evening, and Tomorrow.

Send later works exactly as you would expect.

The method presented here overcomes that limitation. A popular approach to get around this to use Automator and Calendar, but that requires the user to write the emails in Automator, rather than drafting them using the Mail app itself. Here's a method that allows you to write emails in Mail and send them later, tackling Mail's age-old problem of not being able to schedule emails.
