Finally!! and may i just say, Hallelujah!!

Only my Microsoft Outlook at work could Recall messages before this.

Tell you what, i'll be using my Gmail account a lot more. I've got a case of foot-in-mouth syndrome (though not nearly as bad as Obama last night! ) and this will really help!

Re: Google Mail introduces "UNDO SEND"

Important Note: it's only for 5 seconds, so think fast if you sent it by mistake. And you must turn on the feature in your gmail settings first.

Re: Google Mail introduces "UNDO SEND"

When I'm drunk and sending emails, I can hardly find the send button. It would be a miracle to find the unsend button...*LOL*

To rise again from the ashes.....what an understatement.

Re: Google Mail introduces "UNDO SEND"

Or we can even have a default email that you can send the next day.

Hi, Sorry my account was hacked. Some crazy girl went around sending the most obscene messages. But, don't worry, I contacted [insert server name here] and they're all on top of it.

Re: Google Mail introduces "UNDO SEND"

Pretty cool feature, but 5 seconds is not a long time really, you'd want to be really fast to catch it...

Re: Google Mail introduces "UNDO SEND"

I agree Missb! i think this feature should be a longer time period. even 2 minutes is more reasonable.

Re: Google Mail introduces "UNDO SEND"

completely agree.. 5 seconds is kind more of a tease BUT, if they are offering 5 seconds soon someone will out do them and offer more uh-oh time
