LFS = Looking For Service

TL;DR: can you recommend me a service to send myself emails at a later date that works like a time capsule so that the email can not be deleted or seen by someone else (except the service provider obviously)?

LT;MR(= Long Text; Might Read): Lately I’ve been trying to pay attention to the passage of time by celebrating the solar-events (summer/winter solstice and autumn/spring equinox).

For this years autumn equinox celebration I would like myself and my guests to send ourselves an email that arrives a week before next years spring equinox to our own email addresses.

The prompt will be: What would you like to do more of this coming summer?

I understand many common email clients/providers support this natively but it’s my understanding those emails end up in specific folder so they are easy to find and subsequently read and/or delete which negates the idea I want to accomplish.

So, I’m looking for a service to store and send those emails to me and my guests in time for next years spring equinox.

Thank you 🥰

  • Proton’s implementation isn’t like a time capsule, it’s meant for just scheduling emails to others, not yourself. Scheduled emails are available in their own folder, and can be edited or deleted.

    • Sounds like you need to write an app to do this. It seems you want to aggregate data from multiple sources, keep secret, then send.

      I’m tech inclined, but not a developer, lots of low/no code solutions should let you get pretty close fairly easily.

      I’ll bet you could use a jobs site to “rent a developer” and it wouldn’t be too expensive.

      Or find a 3rd party to collect and schedule the email.
