Please, Microsoft. Most of my good ideas come at night. I arrived at this page because it's 3am Sat/Sun my and my team's local time and I want to send something to my manager when she'll see it (probably Sunday morning), but I probably won't be up until 2pm to manually send it. Sending via scheduled email send is also not ideal, because I know she has Teams on her phone but I don't want to assume she's checking email on weekends.
I am a night owl who gets her best ideas at 3am, not to mention my team is distributed across time zones. I do not need my colleagues thinking that I have unhealthy work habits, that I am virtue signalling, or that I expect a reply right away. I just need to get the idea out, and Gmail is not an equal substitute when the idea does not necessitate an email. Shouldn’t be on the user to curb their own behavior.
