I once implemented "send later" for Gnus. Maybe that could be a thing?
It's pretty easy to do: "Send later" stashes the draft in a special
folder, adding a special header. At some convenient time (use a trigger
that happens often enough but not too often), go through the "send
later" folder and send all mails whose time is up.
I used it to send myself later a reminder.
I use very few folders so I don't know how threading works across
folders, but with a little luck MailMate can already show me old
messages from another folder when a new reply arrives -- that way I can
easily refer back to the original mail I replied to. This way, it's not
a big problem that "send later" creates a new message.

True, if you view any of your deferred messages before their time is
reached. (When they do return then the tag has been removed and then
it won't happen again.)
This discussion also illustrates why it's not straightforward how such
a feature should be implemented, especially not to allow
synchronization. I'll give it some more thought.

The 1 minute is measured from the arrival of the message.
This is the problem I had when trying to do it.
Makes it hard to do relative calculations.
Could mailmate set/mutate a custom header ?
Like:
X-Defer-Until: timestamp
And then be able to use that as the comparison ?
That's kind of already possible using the existing virtual
“Date-Last-Viewed” header. It works fine locally, but it is not
going to
synchronize with other MailMate installs. (Adding a header to the
message
itself is not a good option, because it's horribly inefficient.)
