How can create a mail sending application that can send email on sceduled time.
That is after I composed my mail, the time to send will set. eg: the mail need send on 2:00am.
At that time my system will be power off.
Where can I deploy such an application?

Deploy it onto a machine that will not be switched off.

Windows Service should do what you seek.

Sample: Simple Windows Service which sends auto Email alerts[^]
Details about Windows Service: MSDN: Introduction to Windows Service Applications[^]

Thanks to Richard for reminding the second part of question:
One needs a server for such things that goes on and are off only during planned maintenance. You cannot send an email at some time from a system when it is off.

I don't think that will help if the system is powered off.

True. One needs a server for such things that goes on and are off only during planned maintenance.

It's a rather ridiculous question IMHO.

True.
"I want to send an email at the time when my system is switched off'.
