Unsend an Emall in Gmail

Have you ever sent an email and wish you could “undo the send”?

Maybe you forgot to attach the attachment or made a typo or just regret sending the email at all.

Gmail has an Undo Send feature that allows you to get the message back within a short period of time (seconds).

Here’s how to enable the Undo Send:

1. Click the gear in the top right .
2. Select Settings.
3. Scroll down to "Undo Send" and click Enable Undo Send.
4. Choose the Send cancellation period (this is the amount of time you will have to undo the send).  I would choose the maximum - 30 seconds.

5. Click Save Changes at the bottom of the page.

Now when you send any email you will see the following message at the top of your inbox.  

This message will remain there for the cancellation period you chose - in my case it is 30 seconds.

When you click Undo to retrieve the email - the message window will open allowing you to make changes and resend if you wish.
