Were you supposed to send sweet old Aunt Peggy an email on her birthday and forgot? Don't fret... you can send her an email NOW and time stamp it for a previous date! (You tricky bastard you.) I mean, let's be honest, that old bitty probably doesn't check her email every minute like you do anyway.
You only get 10 custom time stamp emails a year, so you must choose your situations wisely. So, I'll open up the question of: in what situation would this Gmail Custom Time be most useful to you? (My personal response would be if my boyfriend broke up with me, I would lie and tell him that I already wrote him a Dear John email, but he must not have received it... and then I'd send him one time stamped for the previous day. Tee-hee.)
And don't fret kiddies, Google has an e-flux capacitor involved... they're not fucking around.

Well obviously when I would tell my thesis advisor that I emailed him a draft six weeks ago when it was actually due...then I could conveniently leave out the fact that I STILL haven't started...
While I definitely love the idea of this feature, deadlines mean nothing!, I fear that even though they limit the use of this feature to 10/year, people will be more suspicious of those "super delayed email." And did I read something on their site about the potential for e-mails to show up in inboxes as "read" so you can use the "but I sent it to you, you must have read it"... "Oh, I guess I did, but I don't remember." Useful or a foster for laziness and lying?
