1) This is currently on invitation basis only – Tweet me @k_avinash or message me on http://www.facebook.com/cosmoGeek for invites. Yes, I have got invites!

Click it and select a time to have this message show back up in your inbox.  This will remove the message from your inbox, and then bring it back as a new, unread message at the time you set.

For the only first time, you’ll need to authenticate Boomerang with your Google Account if you haven’t already.  Click Allow in the pop-up window to accept.

3) In similar fashion, you can schedule to send emails later
