Gmail “Undo Send”
March 20, 2009 – 9:24 amGoogle has added a new feature to GMail that should be well liked by users. If you’ve ever sent an email, you’ve probably experience an “Oh shit” moment where you wish you would have reviewed it prior to mailing. Now GMail will give you five seconds to think about whether you need to stop the mail or not. If you do, simply press “Undo Send.”
“This feature can’t pull back an email that’s already gone; it just holds your message for five seconds so you have the chance to hit the panic button,” wrote Michael Leggett in the Gmail blog.
“And don’t worry: if you close Gmail or your browser crashes in those few seconds, we’ll still send your message.”
You’ll need to activate the feature first. Under your settings click on the “Undo Send” feature and you’ll see a new button the next time you wish to send email.

This is a good feature for people who write angry e-mails since it gives them a chance to take it back before it is being sent.
