Sending emails is one of the activities that many people do most frequently on a day-to-day basis. However, it is not always possible to be in front of a computer or mobile devices to send emails at a certain time; either because we are in a period of time of different time with the recipients or because you don't have the free time to dedicate to this task. For this reason, Gmail and Outlookb have a lot of tools to schedule the sending of an email.
These tools already exist, and today Infobae will show the steps so that users can schedule their Outlook or Gmail emails for the time and day they are needed.
Alternatively, these steps can be performed from an iOS, a href="https://www.infobae.com/tag/ipados/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"biPadOS, or Android device; as well as from a computer Mac or Windows.

Schedule an Outlook email from an Android or iOS mobile
Unfortunately, unlike Gmail, Outlook only allows you to schedule emails natively on its web version. However, there is a way to get around this limitation of iOS and Android and it is done by downloading a third-party app to do the work for us.
Spark is an application for Android and iOS that allows you to configure an email from almost any platform. It also has some outstanding features such as the ability to have private conversations by email, integration with cloud services and, of course, the ability to schedule messages when you want to send them from a mobile phone.
To do this, you simply have to start typing an email normally and on the bottom toolbar you will see an email icon with a clock.
Click on it to enter the mail schedule menu. It works the same on Android and iOS.
