While Apple Mail has got the bases covered to be a reliable email app, it lacks many pro features. One of the important features that it lacks is “Scheduling”. Considering how essential this feature is, I have been waiting for its inclusion for a long time. And I guess I’m not alone who is asking for it. Thankfully, there is a workaround to schedule emails in the Apple Mail app on Mac. In this hands-on guide, I’m going to show how you can schedule an email in the Mac Mail app.
First and foremost, let’s get to know how this workaround works! Well, we are going to first create an Automator application. And then, set it up to send the composed email at the specific date and time using the Calendar app.
- Launch the Automator app on your Mac. (Simply, search Automator in the Spotlight Search and open it).
Do note that you can repeat the same steps to add more messages which you want to schedule for the same time.
Schedule the Email with Calendar on macOS
Once you have created the application, you can schedule the email using the Calendar app.
- Now, choose the application you have just created. Click on Other and then head over to the location where the file has been saved and then select the application.
Best Apple Mail Alternatives for Mac
If you don’t want to go through this rigamarole, you will be better off using a third-party email client for Mac, to take control of your emails. If you want to have a fast and highly efficient email client with a number of helpful features like scheduling, batch archiving and pinning, I suggest you go with Spark Mail (free).
