Send email later

Under Consideration

Can mailbox.org add a feature to allow sending emails later?


Sites like boomeranggmail.com, rightinbox.com, lettermelater.com, and Outlook already has this feature. It would be nice to have this feature.

I would also very much appreciate such a feature; I've made very good experience with Boomerang!

I agree, it would be very useful. I like writing emails at the end of the workday and scheduling them to be sent the morning after.

Yes, scheduled sending is very helpful when communicating across timezones. Personal and business contacts can often be more responsive when an email arrives while they are awake or at work.

This would be an excellent feature to add. I rely on scheduled emails in Gmail all the time. If this were to be implemented into Mailbox, it would be a huge convenience.

Please, please, please add this feature! It'll put you ahead of ProtonMail/Tutanota :D

Nothing much new to add to previous comments, only that this functionality would seem to become more and more urgently needed. I dare not send e-mails late at night for fear of disturbing professional contacts in their free time or even waking up a sleeping person with a notification. So instead I log on in the morning just to click "send". Surely this cannot be the way to do things in the year 2022. (Otherwise a happy customer.)

It would be great to support this feature.

Agreed - my patients do not want to be disturbed late at night when I am busy doing their notes!

Will this feature be released sometime soon? Or is actually on the roadmap? I also this this is really useful and becoming an standard within offering email services.

Same feeling here, it's so common now, I have to go through my iphone to do a "send it later", it would be more convenient to do it through the webmail interface...

Especially considering that it is a paid service, this feature is long overdue. The idea was proposed seven years ago...

Agree, it's an essential feature and I regret my decision to choose Mailbox as my main provider (now it's too hard to switch).

Mailbox presents itself as a transparent open-source-loving mail provider but de-facto only loves open-source when it comes to free consumption of said software...Contributing this feature to their email suite apparently is not possible :/.

Meanwhile, other competitors like FastMail are actively contributing to the open-source world.

It's not too late to switch but it will take some efforts. I spent some time to quit gmail -> mailbox but I feel I may have to do the same from mailbox to another one, don't know which one yet.

I was also very disappointed by a support's answer (on another topic), which was not friendly.

Hi there @2994416, we are sad to hear that you are not quite happy with our services. Although we agree that this feature would make a great addition, it's not for us to decide how and when it will be implemented. Our webmailer is based on Open-Xchange (OX) and all we can do is forward a feature request, which we already did. From this point on, we can only wait for further feedback. We do know that the request is on their radar, but we sadly can't provide or confirm any release date.

Hopefully this provides some insight in how some features are being implemented and we will provide you with updates, as soon as we have some additional news about this topic.

Best regards from the mailbox.org-Team
