Schedule Gmail Send Time
Is there an add-on, for Gmail, that allows you to… …schedule an email to send later? …send an email, when you write it, but it doesn't actually send until a certain time? …set "work hours/days" and only allows emails to enter recipients inbox during that time?
User story: I am a user, who desires to respect everyone's off time, and I would like some way to send emails when they are on my mind, without setting precedent that it is okay or expected to do this.

Gmail recently got a native option for scheduled send. Check out the down arrow on the send button.

I got sooo excited when I saw your reply! Sadly, I don't have an arrow on my send button and I checked all menus with no luck. :(

@vickilanger Hm, that's weird, I have both Gmail and GSuite accounts, and for all I have the arrow. Everybody I know and uses Gmail has it too. I think for about 2 weeks or so. They finally added it now, on Gmail's 15th anniversary.

Are you using web Gmail or app?

@alina Craziness! I'm logged into Gmail and GSuite too. I might need to log in to the admin account and accept or push some update.

@vickilanger Google doesn't push updates on all accounts at once. Your best bet is to wait.

@vickilanger Lmk if that works out. I honestly don't remember doing something to get that update..
LE: I only saw @wassim's answer after I replied. That might be it.

@alina @wassim after scouring my admin stuffs, no luck. I did find one article, somewhere, that said it would eventually roll out. So, here I am, waiting.
