How to Use FollowupThen.com to Set Up Email Reminders?

To start using Followup Then, just compose an email and include [any time]@followupthen.com in the “Cc”, “Bcc” or “To” fields of your email. Each is a bit different:

2. TO –  Send an email to your future self.
3. CC – Schedule a reminder for you and the recipient.

Example:  tomorrow@followupthen.com, nextwednesday@followupthen.com, everyday@followupthen.com, every3rdwednesday@followupthen.com
