Answer 1

Have you tried to use something like QuartZ Scheduler which will help manage scheduling and executing tasks: http://www.quartz-scheduler.org/

Answer 2

The combination of Timer and TimerTask should suffice. The Timer class has a schedule() method. Just pass the TimerTask and a Date representing today plus 23 hours along it.

Timer timer = new Timer(true);
timer.schedule(new MailTask(), todayPlus23hours);

where the MailTask look like this:

public class MailTask extends TimerTask {
    public void run() {
        // Implement.
    }
}
