Boomerang

Sometimes, you write an important mail but due to some reason, you can only send it at a later time. But Gmail does not have this feature. With Boomerang, you can optimize mailing – you can compose a mail at any time and using the Boomerang extension, schedule it to be sent at the particular time.
We really think of Boomerang as one of the best Gmail chrome extensions, as you don’t have to worry about sending that email, or have to face flak from the bosses for having forgotten to send it! Boomerang not only will send it on the specified time, but it also tracks whether your mail has been opened and read (which is very important to know, especially if you have sent it to your customer or potential new client), and was responded to.
You can also ‘snooze’ your incoming emails with Inbox Pause. The AI ‘Respondable’ can help to write better mails. All these great features don’t come for free – you get only a trial of 10 mails for free, and have to shell out approx $4-$14 per month to get all the cool features. But spending the money may be worth it because of the usefulness of this extension.
