Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/modoboa/modoboa/issues/3190

This is not actually a bug, more like a feature request. 😉

It would be amazing if it were possible to send emails at a certain time in the future.

I'm pretty sure there's nothing in the mail standards for it (at least that's what @Toniob tells me 🤷), in any case it needs an access to a database (to store the programmed email) and then check that the programmed time has arrive, to actually send the email (a few minutes late will not be a problem, it doesn't need to be extremely accurate, as long as it is sent.

Gmail does that, and I hate Google with a passion, so I don't want to rely on Google for such an important thing as my emails.

Expected behavior

I'm able to program an email with a given content and a date/time, and when the time comes, the mail is automatically sent, give or take a few minutes. 😄

Ah yes, timezones will also need to be taken care of 😉

you mean scheduled sending of mail, don't you? if so, kindly change the title of this issue, it is confusing

Yes, scheduling, also known as programming 🤷

If you find that clearer, I'll change 🤷

FYI, it seems Django is finally getting something that would help here, without Celery or something else, but built in Django: https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2024/may/29/django-enhancement-proposal-14-background-workers/

An implementation of the spec is here: https://github.com/RealOrangeOne/django-tasks

Still quite experimental and prone to breakages while it bakes, but this could be the best solution for Modoboa to implement this feature. 😁
