The reminder was queued for delayed delivery
u/myrandomtips connected a separate Outlook inbox to ChatGPT, and Gmail on its own. He can ask it to send an email later, such as Friday at 6. The test was one hour ahead. The message was queued in Outlook.

What was done
On 26 September 2026 u/myrandomtips writes that he has tried the email connectors in ChatGPT. The agent has its own Outlook inbox through the Outlook connector. His personal Gmail is connected separately through the Gmail connector. He can say it should email him next Friday at 6. It creates the email from the Outlook account, addresses it to Gmail and schedules it for delayed delivery. The same day he tested it by asking it to email him one hour later. The message was queued in Outlook for delayed delivery. He uses the account as a reminder, so a later version of him gets an email with the context he asked for.
How it went
The test queued the email for delayed delivery. He does not say the message arrived one hour later.
Worth knowing
The text of the test email is not quoted. He does not say delayed sending was turned off after the test. Friday at 6 is the example he can say, not the test he ran.
How to do it
- Connect a separate sender account, not the private inbox the agent should write to.
- Ask for a draft with a time for delayed delivery, and read the text.
- Set the send yourself, or say yes first if the agent is to queue it.
Try it with ChatGPT
Draft an email from [sender] to [me] about [topic], with delayed delivery at [time]. Do not send the email until I say yes.
Replace text in brackets with your own.
Done when. The draft has been read, and the email has not been sent without a yes.
Safety rule. No email is sent until you have said yes.
