hi,

I would like to send mail in a future date, Lets say i would like to
send this mail on 20th July 2008, But i know that i wont be having access to net
as i will be in a remote place on that particular date. Is ther any way i can do it ?
(a) I dont want to send it in advance.
(b) Even if i send in advance i dont want it to reach his inbox before the said date.
(c) I dont want to use any 3rd party application.

Regards

If you have GPRS you can send it wherever you are, provided your cell phone works, of course. If not, use...

and

I guess few email providers allow to send an e-mail on some specified date.
I m not sure. I guess there shud be, like we have an option on e-greetings site to send on a given date.

I just gone thru the sites which you recommended, Thanx a lot for the reply , Pls see my comments

Futureme.0rg :- This site doesnt allow me to sent a mail in future not less than 90days :-(

Other sites :- Most of them requires a complusary sinup :-(

*www.timemachiner.com/ :-
This is nice application , it dosent requires a sinup at the same time no restriction in chossing the mailing date :)

Thanks

cron can make it possible. :) provided you have a MTA like exim or postfix properly configured for your email(gmail or whatever) .

If you meant scheduling the email praka123, he clearly said he would not have the internet connection on the date he wishes it to reach.
