schedule email in gmail

In situations where you want Gmail to automatically send mails at a specific date/time in your absence, you can schedule them for a later date in Gmail. 

With this feature, you can even schedule to send them automatically even before days, months, or even a whole year. For instance, you can wish a person Happy Birthday at the exact time and date without manually clicking the Send button.
