Gmail Gives 5 Seconds to Stop, Cancel, Undo Sent Email
March 20th, 2009Do you wish you could press back or stop a wrong email message from whizzing across the internet. Gmail has introduced an undo feature which gives you a 5 second window to stop, cancel and undo a sent email. A great feature everyone always wanted.
Gmail now lets you cancel sending email when the send email button is already clicked
Once the email is sent, it allows you to undo the email message
And the email is grabbed and safely sent back and undone.
Undo Email is a Gmail Labs feature, which means it is not activated by default, and you need to enable the feature for it to work. The feature is so useful, that I believe it should be activated by default for all Gmail users. Its the most useful email feature ever, activate undo email now.
In Gmail > Settings > Labs > Undo Email > Enable > Save Changes
