How To Undo A Send E-Mail For Gmail - By Dhaval

Undo Send Mail From Gmail

Note: The feature is hidden from most users who don�t know where to look, so here�s a quick guide to avoiding social and workplace faux pas with the click of a button. Be aware that the feature is part of Gmail Labs, though. That means it�s still in testing and it might not always work as intended.

Since the Undo Send feature is part of Gmail Labs, you�ll have to navigate to the Gmail Labs page to activate it. Load up Gmail (Gmail) and look in the top-right corner of the page. Between your e-mail address and Settings you�ll see the green Labs icon.

Find �Undo Send� among the list. (Picture Below)

Customize Undo Send�s Duration -

By default, Gmail gives you a 10-second window of time in which you may undo a sent e-mail. You can change that to five, 20 or 30 seconds by going to Settings.

How it Works ?

Write and Send Your E-mail

Now you have either five, 10, 20 or 30 seconds to undo your sent e-mail, depending on what you selected under Settings.

As soon as you hit Send, a subtle line of text will appear above your Inbox saying �Your message has been sent.� It will be accompanied by a few extra options. Among them is �Undo.� Click that within the allotted time and your faux pas will be prevented.

Click the �Undo� Button After You Send

�Sending Has Been Undone�
You�ll immediately be taken back to the e-mail composition page, and your e-mail will be in draft form, unsent and ready for further editing.
