Schedule Send Date/Time for Draft Emails Automatically Sent at a Future Time
I have another email service that allows users to schedule draft emails to be sent at a specified date/time in the future. Once the draft is complete, the email is automatically sent at the future specified date/time, unless that draft email is deleted/replaced prior to the send date/time. The draft email can either reside in an existing "draft" folder or a separate "outbox" folder (as distinguished from "draft" that does not have a scheduled send date/time).
Different Emphasis from Similar Postings:
I noticed a number of other similar postings, however, I wanted to provide this new posting to possibly emphasize something more than what I saw emphasized in other similar postings: closely related general delivery options. I would suggest ProtonMail allow every draft email to have a drop down menu that provides the option for selecting "Delivery Timing" using a calendar display for selection of a date and a time field to select/enter a corresponding time on that selected date (time should be clearly set for a selected time zone, e.g., CST or GMT, to reduce possibilities for confusion on timing). Again, whenever "Delivery Timing" options are selected, the draft email can then reside either in the existing "draft" folder or in a newly appearing "Outbox" for any pending emails to be sent at a future date/time. The other email service I use provides a range of closely related general delivery options to also include:
-- "Message Priority" (Low, ******, High);
-- "Private" (to help prevent email forwarding, if clients support that);
-- "Return Receipt" and
-- "Delivery Timing" (previously addressed)
I recommend ProtonMail make these general delivery option menus accessible via one additional icon next to the existing row of icons on draft emails for "Attachments," "Encryption" and "Encryption time." The icon could be a clock next to a letter (just a suggestion), since "Encryption time" already uses a clock icon.
I don't believe other similar postings emphasize these closely associated general delivery Options. I have previously given this other email provider feedback on perfecting their services in other areas (with different providers having different strengths/weaknesses), but this is one particular feature they have had for a very long time that I believe provides an excellent example to follow.

Dear ProtonMail, +1. Please add scheduled sends. I love that feature at gmail and I miss it here. It's 00:50 now, and I don't want to send business emails at that hour, but I want to schedule them to be sent at 8:00 am.

I'm loving being encrypted and staying safe with Protonmail. No turning back. Just one thing though, I have been using the scheduling messages feature for almost 2 years before jumping onto Protonmail. Please add this feature to Protonmail. I literally feel like I have gone back to the 80's without this feature. Please Protonmail team, I am kneeling on the floor and begging you ;)

Today I had the necessity to send an important email and I had to create a reminder to remember to do it the next morning...
It would be awesome to add the option to schedule when sending an email, like setting the day and time when you would like the mail to be sent and then doing in background, making a notification pop up with the sending confirmation -

I use this extensively on Gmail and have an addon for Thunderbird on my desktop that does this for my other e-mails. I would love to not have to rely on keeping Thunderbird open and just be able to use this directly on the server.

The ability to plan emails for sending. Sometimes I am sending emails late in the evening, so I would like to set a time when to send the email, for example at 8 AM the following day.
