Enable Gmail's 'Undo Send' Feature
Sensing email is something that we do everyday. Many times we send emails that we don't wanted to send. I know this has never happened with you. But there are some who might have faced this problem. Many time in anger or by accidently we send a mail which might not be good to read. Also, if by mistakenly you clicked on Reply All and send it then it be more worse.
But now we will be having some relief. We've had the ability to "unsend" emails in Gmail for about six years now, but the feature was somewhat hidden in the obscure Labs section of Gmail's settings. Google has officially announced that "undo send" is an option in its Gmail service, and it's much easier to find in Gmail's settings.
How to enable this service? Go through steps below. Before you proceed with the steps, make sure you reload Gmail, otherwise you won't find the feature.
1. Open Gmail and click on the Setting icon and select "Settings".
2. Scroll down and you will find an option "Undo Send"
It has option of Send Cancellation period in seconds. Here you have option to select from 5, 10, 20 and 30 seconds. Select any of the option and click on Save Changes.
Next time you send an email, you'll notice a subtle new "undo" option in the yellow box that appears at the top of the Gmail window after you send an email. If you realized you missed something or notice a typo in your email, click the "undo" link, and your email will reopen in the "compose email" box for you to edit.
Hope this saves you in case you send something that's should not been send.
Cheers!!!
