To buy Gmail accounts in bulk may be a common thing now. Have you heard about scheduling your emails? Do you want to be able to schedule emails with gmail?
I mean you want to write an email today and set it to be sent later for perfect timing.
We live in different time zones and some times, there is need to make sure your message gets to your recipient just at the moment they are available to read it.
If you are doing some email marketing for your business, you must be using an email marketing platform like MailerLite that allows you to create and schedule campaigns.

If you are using the very popular free Gmail email service by Google, I want to propose something you may find very useful.
