WordPress plugin WP Delayed Mail lets you send an email at a future time.
To use, pass the same arguments you would to wp_mail() instead to wp_delayed_mail(), except make the first argument the time at which you want the email to be sent, in a Unix timestamp.
For example, to send an email greeting immediately in WordPress, you would usually do the following:
wp_mail(
'recipient@example.com',
'My Subject',
'Hello! How are you?'
);
But to send it two hours later using WP Delayed Email, you would do the following:
wp_delayed_mail(
time() + ( 60 * 60 * 2 ),
'recipient@example.com',
'My Subject',
'Hello! How are you?'
);
or something like this:
wp_delayed_mail(
strtotime("next Thursday"),
'recipient@example.com',
'My Subject',
'Hello! How are you?'
);
You can use any arguments you would normally pass to wp_mail, including headers:
wp_delayed_mail(
strtotime("next Thursday"),
'recipient@example.com',
'My Subject',
'Hello! How are you?',
array(
'From: filosofo <notarealaddress@ilfilosofo.com>',
)
);

Why would someone want to do this?
I created this plugin because someone wanted a delayed autoresponder, but there are many other possible uses, such as appointment reminders. I hope it’s helpful for you!
