LetterMeLater.com is a much better site for doing this. Plus everything is free, there are no ads sent with the emails. It even can do things that google calendar cannot do, which is send emails to people other than yourself, and recurring emails. The best feature of all though, is that you never even have to log in to the site, you can have your emails sent later through your own email.

Not thinking here of the kidnapping scenario so much as of being incapacitated or dead, and having a way to send the passwords for my email and other accounts to a few trusted individuals. Well ... to people I'd trust more if I had to than if I didn't. My concern would be whether the company is fiscally sound enough to rely on for something this critical.

La mecánica es muy simple, usted escribe su correo y le indica cuando quiere que sea enviado.

The timezone bug has been fixed (hairy stuff, timezones, let me tell you). Paying for email might be 'ridiculous', but then again so few things in life are free (if any). Personally I prefer an ad-free environment when it means paying a tiny, tiny fee (2 bucks) which supports a cool application. Also, it's max three concurrent pending emails; there are no other limits. All in all pretty fair. I've had one great comment about someone (tongue in cheek? i hope) who asked if l8r can be used to schedule emergency messages in case of kidnapping. i.e. can you delete pending messages when all is fine by a certain date? yes, you can I am happy to say. Though I would hate to see any of my users in that situation! Thanks for the review, it’s great to read someone using my app and making sensible comments.

I definitely see what you are saying. You can get similar results with services like Google Calendar or any basic reminder service, and I'm glad you bring that up because I was wondering how people would react to the concept. I suppose it depends on how you plan to use the service and if you find value in the extras (attachments, rich text, etc.). I personally don't really mind the concept of paying for future mail if I find benefit in it, but I do think three free pending emails is a bit limiting. What does everyone think? Are reminders like what you get with Google Calendar enough to fit your needs? Do you think paying for future mail is just a silly concept? Kam, thanks for the call out ;).

Making users pay for email is a ridiculous concept, no matter what you do to it. If you really want GTD style deferred messages just use Google Calendar. You can even decide between getting a SMS message on your phone or an email in your inbox at any future date you want. And its free. Hi Brian,
