Is there a way to limit my email sending to specific days and times?

Hey everyone! I'm looking for a way to restrict my email account so that I can only send emails to a particular address at certain times each week—specifically 9 PM on Sundays and 9 PM on Tuesdays. I want it to be completely locked down so I can't override this restriction. Is this even possible? Thanks!

Unfortunately, there's no way to completely lock down an email account like that. Email inboxes are accessible 24/7, so you might want to consider other options if you need to control your sending schedule.

You know, the best solution might just be some self-discipline. It's free and can really help you stay focused! But I totally understand needing a bit of extra help to get there.

A small program can actually help you with this! You can use SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) to code something that sends emails only at specific times. Some folks set this up using Visual Basic scripts and Windows Task Scheduler. Keep in mind, though, that modern email servers like Gmail might require more complex authentication, so you’d need your own server or find one with simpler access rules.
