Firstly write a normal function in controller to send email. Make sure it satisfies following criteria

  • To access the controller function no login should be there
  • In controller function you should not use any session.

Then in cpanel of your server, you can set cron based on your requirement, either every minute, every hour, etc.

For your scenerio, you should set once in a day and thay will be available in common settings. Select that and enter the path to your controller function in which you have written code for sending the email.

Hope it helps.
