Hi Satya,

the class name should not be Schedulable. It should be something that explains the purpose of your class. For example EmailLeadScheduler.

but it has to implement Schedulable interface in order for you to be able to schedule it. 
For example 
global class EmailLeadScheduler implements Schedulable {
    
global void execute(SchedulableContext sc){}
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage mail = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();

}

Hi Satya,

First create an Apex class that implements Schedulable. Write your logic to send the emails.
Once the class is done, go to Setup-> Scheduled Jobs adn set up the interval to be 1 hour. 

For more information check out

For informaiton on sending emails form Apex check out

@ Khan Thank you for your help sir. I have created an apex class called "Schedulable". The logic I have written in it is

global class Schedulable {
    
global void execute(SchedulableContext sc){}
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage mail = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();

}

I have saved it . What do i do now? I went to Setup>Scheduled jobs it is empty!

Hi Satya,

In the scheduled jobs lsit you can see all the classes that are already schedule. In order to schedule the new class go through following steps
1. Go to Setup ->Develop->Apex Classes
2. Click Schedule Apex button
3.  Select class name, name the scheduled job and specify frequency.

@ Khan thank you sir. The procedure I followed is I created a class named  "Schedulable" using develper console and I saved it just as you mentioned. Now when I went to Setup ->Develop->Apex Classes and clicked on Schedule Apex button. An error is popping up stating there are no records of such type. Please see the image below. Do i need to activate any permissions? When I'm clicking on the "Lookyp" for the "ApexClass" it says "No records found of this type".
