Send later button missing in Apple Mail

This Help page shows that Apple Mail should have a "Send later" option to schedule mail:

Write, send and schedule emails in Mail on Mac - Apple Support (HK)


However, the drop-down next to the send button is missing from my Apple Mail app:



How can I turn on this feature?

My MacBook Air (2017/18) will not support macOS 13 Ventura. Instead I get security upgrades to Monterey 12. So, I don't have a drop down menu next to my Send button and cannot schedule emails to be sent later.


However, a work around that works for me is to type and save an email as a draft on my MacBook and then access my iPhone, which has the most up to date iOS. I retrieve the draft on my iPhone and touch the Send button, which reveals a drop down menu with send-later options. The email can thus get sent later, albeit from my iPhone rather than my MacBook Air.

The user us very correct.


The " Send Later Feature " is not part of Monterey macOS 12.


It was only introduced in the next version of macOS Ventura macOS 13


To gain this Feature, suggest checking out the links below regarding upgrading to Ventura and some other good links.

Also, suggest making sure the computer is running the latest version of Monterey 12.6.2 as this may possible insure a smoother upgrade to Ventura

Hello,


My macbook is on Ventura, however the Send Later box does not appear. I scheduled couple mails but now can't locate where they are for further edits. Could you please help?


Edit: I found the Send Later box 5 minutes after I hit send. It was found in the favorite section which was automatically collapsed by me, which I still find odd as I think the send later should be under the respective SMTP mailbox. But, I am glad I found it now. Sorry for the confusion.
