LFS: Send emails later, time capsule style

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 🥰

Never tried it but found this while searching for “delayed email service”

I think my email service does something like this, though I don’t use it.

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.

I may be under thinking this, but couldn’t you just schedule an email to be sent on that date using whichever email provider/client you use?
