Gmail Should Let You Schedule When To Send Emails

One of the best features of Microsoft Outlook is the ability to schedule when to send a message... Why can't we do that with Gmail?
The most frustrating thing about clearing your Inbox is that as soon as you reply to an email, your recipient send you another reply. You can spend an hour replying to 50 emails, only to have 50 new ones within a few minutes. This is particularly frustrating if you decide to do clear your inbox at night or on the weekend.
The ability to schedule an email gives you the power to clear your inbox by responding to messages, without actually sending them until later. So you can clear your inbox at off hours, then send them all out at 4 am, so your recipients won't respond until the the next day... or the next week, or whatever time and date you'd like.
It's also a great way to schedule long term reminders for things like birthdays, anniversaries or meeting dates.
Microsoft Outlook, and most corporate Microsoft Exchange Servers have this feature. but it's conspicuously absent on mainstream web mail systems like Gmail.
