Yes, “Send Later” is a very similar feature and it is already 
implemented in MailMate. But it also has the problem of only working 
locally. It does not synchronize with other installs of MailMate (and 
this would be even harder to do than for deferred emails).

Yes, you can easily find the thread of an email in MailMate. You can 
also create a mailbox which always includes the thread of any messages 
arriving in your Inbox.
