My Favorite Gmail Feature Got Better

Do you know my favorite Gmail feature? Its actually a Gmail labs feature called Undo Send that I have been using for a year now and has helped me hundreds of times pull back a sent email back into my draft folder in one click.

Undo Send in Gmail

Recently they made the feature even better and instead of the earlier 5 seconds, Undo Send now allows  three time durations till which you can snatch the email back from the Gmail servers - 5, 10 and 20 seconds.

Undo Send time

You can change the undo send time from your Gmail settings easily.  This basically means you can “undo send” or get your email back into your inbox as late as 20 seconds after pressing Send email.

I suggest you enable this feature and you will never regret sending an unwanted email seconds after pressing Send. Try for yourself and you will not let it go. This my favorite and most used Gmail feature and I often wonder why it is still in Gmail labs.

What is your favorite Gmail feature?

  4. There is no reason anyone should ever need this feature. If you’re not ready to send an email, here’s an idea…don’t send it in the first place!
