An outbox delay feature would be extremely useful for more reason than
one. How many times have you send an email only to realize you forgot
to mention something important, or realize you made a mistake? Another
case, you email someone and five minutes later you receive their email
sent at the same time. With the delay feature, you could read the
incoming mail and go back to edit your outgoing mail as needed. Here
is another great use. Lets say you run a small business and like to
email your customers late at night. Sometimes its important to
maintain a good company image, and as you know most larger companies
only take phone calls and respond to email during work hours. A delay
feature could allow you to finish your email and have it sent out
automatically at 9AM while you are still in bed.
Here is how it works. You type your email and select the delay
feature. Then chose your delay duration either as a fixed duration (1
minute, 20 minutes, 3 hours, etc) or as a specific date and time from
a built in calendar. Click send and your email remains in the outbox
until your preset delay timer expires. If you need to go back and
edit, just find the email in your outbox and make the changes.

I would LOVE this feature. It's possible in Outlook, but apparently
only because that is client software. I've had problems with having my
computer closed when the email was supposed to go out which makes the
feature somewhat less useful.
If this were added to Gmail and Google Apps I would use it all the
time. I have a tendency to work late at night and would love to queue
up emails to begin hitting first thing in the morning rather than
2am.
Google - PLEASE add this labs feature!!!
