Undo send in Gmail
A new Gmail Labs product allows users to undo sent emails by providing a grace period of a few seconds. This new feature in Google’s Gmail product allows users to prevent emails going out which they realized needed a bit more editing after hitting the send button.
“I could undo just about any other action in Gmail — why couldn’t I undo send? Many people agreed, including Yuzo Fujishima, an engineer in the Tokyo office. My theory was that even just five seconds would be enough time to catch most of those regrettable emails,” said Michael Leggett in the official Gmail Blog.
“And now you can do just that. Turn on Undo Send in Gmail Labs under Settings, and you’ll see a new ‘Undo’ link on every sent mail confirmation. Click ‘Undo,’ and we’ll grab the message before it’s sent and take you right back to compose.”
This feature can however not pull back an email that’s already gone. It simply holds a message for five seconds so that the user will have a chance to hit the panic button.
The new Undo Send feature can be turned on in Gmail Labs under Settings.
