Success Criteria

• Interface result: the email is not sent immediately and enters a scheduled state.
• What you can do next: before the planned send time, you can return to Drafts and manage the message.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: setting the time before checking the message details can lead to extra edits later.
• Environment note: the network connection and mail account need to remain available for scheduled delivery.

2. Change the send time for a scheduled email

Entry point: Drafts → open the email that already has scheduled sending set

1. Before the scheduled time arrives, open Drafts.
2. Find the scheduled email and open it.
3. Open the scheduled sending settings again.
4. Choose a new date and time.
5. Confirm the updated schedule.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: the email shows the new planned send time.
• What you can do next: you can continue editing the message or adjust the send time again.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: trying to change the schedule after the planned send time, when the email may already have been sent.
• Environment note: the change must be completed before the actual delivery time.

3. Cancel scheduled sending

Entry point: Drafts → open the email that already has scheduled sending set

1. Before the scheduled time arrives, open Drafts.
2. Open the email that you want to remove from scheduled sending.
3. Cancel the current scheduled sending setting.
4. Keep the email as a normal draft and continue editing or send it manually later.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: the email is no longer set to send automatically at the original time.
• What you can do next: the message stays in Drafts and can still be edited or sent manually.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: assuming the email will be deleted after canceling the schedule. It stays as a draft instead.
• Environment note: cancellation also needs to be completed before the original send time.
