We all have email regrets, everyone does right? Perhaps we knew it was a bad idea or a "reply all" disaster the second when we hit Send. We all know the panic of hitting "send" on an email too soon. With Gmail, you can add a buffer to recall a mistakenly sent message.
The feature, dubbed Undo Send, is on by default and you can't deactivate it. But you can adjust how long you get to unsend an email.
Let's see how to configure this in an easy way!
- First, click the gear icon (setting icon) and select > See all settings.
- In undo send option: click the drop-down menu to select how long you want to be able to undo a sent message (5, 10, 20, or 30 seconds).
- Then scroll to the bottom and select Save Changes.
- If you click the undo link before the time runs out, your message will not go out. You'll get a chance to re-edit it or delete it entirely.
- You can even undo discards, so when you delete a message in progress, you can bring it back and start again.
