Being the total tech nerd I am, I was all like "Ooooh new features! Gimme Gimme!"
I mean, how awesome does this sound:
Just click "Set custom time" from the Compose view. Any email you send to the past appears in the proper chronological order in your recipient's inbox. You can opt for it to show up read or unread by selecting the appropriate option.
Like so awesome! But with all great options there are limits:
You'll only be able to send email back until April 1, 2004, the day we launched Gmail. If we were to let you send an email from Gmail before Gmail existed, well, that would be like hanging out with your parents before you were born -- crazy talk.
Though to prevent people from truly going the way of the devil and lying about all of their email send times, Google's only limiting this option to 10 times per year.
Our researchers have concluded that allowing each person more than ten pre-dated emails per year would cause people to lose faith in the accuracy of time, thus rendering the feature useless.
The only downer? It doesn't seem to be working yet in my mailbox!! Laaaame. If you're having similar problems, you should join me in emailing them to let them know you want the feature to work!
