If you want to schedule an email for the future, this feature will allow you to choose a time and date when the addressee is going to receive your email.

Unfortunately, Aol.com (AOL Mail) doesn’t offer a feature to schedule emails in its webmail interface.

Good news though! Aol.com (AOL Mail) supports IMAP, so you can use it and schedule emails for later if you add your account to Mailbird.

So, how do you schedule emails to send later from Aol.com?

In order to access the send later feature with your Aol.com (AOL Mail), just follow the steps below. You will be able to try it with Mailbird for free.

  1. Download and install Mailbird

    Mailbird is a desktop email client that is very convenient for managing multiple addresses, either in its unified inbox or separately. It supports most email providers, so you can boost almost any kind of account with unique features, including the “schedule email” one.

    So, the first step is to download and install the app on your desktop.

  2. Add your Aol.com account

    Launch the Mailbird app and add your name, Aol.com address, and password. Then, wait for the server settings to configure (or do it manually with these instructions). You'll be able to add more accounts in the Settings menu later on.

FAQ about the “send later” feature

Say you’re working in different time zones, or you wrote a message in the evening and want it to be the first email in someone’s inbox the next day — for perfect timing, you can schedule emails to send later.

It’s a feature that allows you to schedule emails in advance. This means you can write an email at a convenient time, but after choosing this option, the other person will receive your message, say, tomorrow morning or at a more specific time and date. Aol.com doesn’t have it, but you can try the feature in Mailbird.

Since Aol.com doesn’t have the feature, you can use it in Mailbird. Click the clock beside the Send button to choose the most appropriate email sending time.
