The Outlook one never worked well..especially between different versions of outlook. I have been the sad victim because of the recall feature never working properly in outlook

Outlook rules are veryuseful, but extremely cumbersome to manage. M$ could really spend some time improving it.

Accidentally sending your sex tape to wrong recipient.

Same here, but I'm convinced it has been more than 5 years. Looks like they've matured it from Labs to Mainstream use at last.

Why would you use this?

The accidentally forgot to attach the attachment and you realise a second after pressing the Send button. You don't have to look like the idiot sending the "And here's the attachment" mail.

Don't know which GMail you use, but as soon you write "attachment" "attached" or similar and send withotu an attachment, it's going to tell you there's no attachment.

Becase accidents do happen. Thats how babies are made...

This now also works on the Inbox mobile app.

" The feature is turned off by default "

But all the advertising related crap is turned on by default and you opt-in by default. Useful features are off by default :wtf:
