The one about sending emails around 3pm is definitely a myth. Most of your email subscribers will live in different time zones and have other priorities. I don't think there is a specific time you can send an email for optimal opening results.

What I have notice though is if you are someone who provides value to your list then you will have subscribers waiting to open your emails. Just my thoughts.

I don't have an actual newsletter. I do send out emails to people that subscribe to my list.

Samuel: I agree with your comment. There are so many time zones and even in the same area, users are reading email at different times.

Do you have a newsletter?
