How do I set up gmail to send out an email automatically at a certain time?
Let’s say that I want to send a colleague a message tomorrow at 12pm. Due to the circumstances, I might not have access to a computer tomorrow, so I want to set up the message tonight for automatic sending tomorrow. Is there any way I could do this?
I also have Yahoo! Mail and hotmail (though I haven’t used my hotmail in a long time).

You could create a Google Calendar event and set a reminder to go out beforehand.
It’s a workaround, not a great solution. The email will be from “Google Calendar <calendar-notification@google.com>” and the subject will start with “Reminder:”
How about for Yahoo mail or hotmail or some other email service (I don’t mind getting another email account).
@jaytkay GA, but needs a warning. As far as I am aware (and please correct me if I’m wrong) in order for those desktop clients to send an email at a specific time, they need to be open at that time. In other words, you can’t create a message for sending tomorrow at 12pm, then turn off your computer and leave it off all day tomorrow. The message won’t get sent until you turn your computer back on and start Outlook/Thunderbird.
@MrItty Yes, correct, thank you for the clarification. The email program must be running.
