Undo Send Option on Gmail

Google Introduces ‘Undo Send’ For Gmail Users

         The feature will allow users to select a delay option of between five and 30 seconds to cancel an email sent by mistake.

                                                                                                                                                                                      Users will need to go into their settings to enable the feature, which is by default disabled.
                                                                                                                                                                                      After an email has been dispatched, a thin yellow bar will  appear at the top of the screen, giving users the chance to cancel its  delivery.The feature has actually been offered by Gmail for several  years, but only to users enrolled in its "experimental labs" programme. The tool works only when emails are sent from laptops, not from tablets or smartphones.

How often do you feel like not sending the email? Is this option going to really help you?

Re: Undo Send Option on Gmail

I had this feature for years now when it was experimental in google labs. Saved me many times when I forgot to add a person in cc, forgot to attach a file, or found a typo after I'd hit send.

Re: Undo Send Option on Gmail

Mahool, are you aware of Clutter feature?

MS added the clutter feature this week as soon as Google announced about Gmail lol.

Re: Undo Send Option on Gmail

No. Can you explain Clutter feature?

Re: Undo Send Option on Gmail

Clutter is an email filtering option available to Office 365 customers. It is similar to an anti-spam filter as it moves less important email (based on your reading habits) into a 'Clutter' folder where they can be ignored or reviewed later. Most of the mail going into the folder should be bulk mail (advertisements) and messages from mailing lists. However, you will want to periodically check the Clutter folder as it may move legitimate email into this folder.
