Boomerang for Gmail is a mail extension you can get from the Chrome Web Store. It's primary purposes are to allow you to send emails at specific times like "Tuesday at 4 PM" while you write it on a Saturday night. It also lets you mark emails that you want to pay attention to--like say an email about a meeting in the middle of the month that you receive the first of the month... you can make it "resend" the email to you the day of the meeting or the day before. You can also set it up so if you send an email to someone and they haven't replied in a specific time frame you can "Boomerang it" and it'll send your email a second time.
When you install it you'll notice (at the bottom of your emails that you're composing):
When you click "Send Later" you can pick when you want the email to send. Or, you can check the box that says, "Boomerang this in 2 days" and set the day you want to send it again if you haven't heard back from the person.
There is also the Boomerang in the top right. This is the button you press while reading an email that you want to return to your inbox.
