How To Undo A Sent Email On Gmail

Ever wanted to undo a sent email,

Yes you can unsend a sent email from gmail by using this simple trick.

First, log in to your Gmail account on your computer.

Go to the little cog icon in the upper right hand corner and select “Settings.”

About a third of the way down the page you’ll see the “Undo Send” section.

Click the check box to Enable Undo Send.

Click the drop-box to set the Send cancellation period, meaning the number of seconds you have to prevent the email from being sent. You can choose 5, 10, 20 or 30 seconds.

Make sure you hit “Save Changes” at the bottom and you’re all set.

Gmail’s Undo Send feature works differently in that it actually waits to send your email, giving you a certain amount of time to change your mind and prevent it from being sent. But you have to be quick, as Gmail gives you only a specific number of seconds to halt your email.

How To Undo Sent Email:-

Click the Compose button at the upper left corner of your Gmail account page.

Compose a message and then click the Send button.

At the top of the screen, you’ll see a message that says: “Your message has been sent. Undo. View Message.”

To prevent the message from being sent, click the Undo link.

Gmail stops the message from going out and displays it in case you wish to make any changes and then resend it. If not, you can simply close the message, and it’s relegated to your Drafts folder where you can keep it or delete it.

The Undo Send feature is a handy way to ensure that the wrong email doesn’t get sent to the wrong person. People currently using the Labs version of ‘Undo Send’ will have the setting turned on by default at launch.
