How to Undo a Sent Email In Gmail

How many times have you hit ʺsendʺ on a professional email only to immediately realize you've done something wrong?

Sometimes we press the send button way too fast, by mistake, or wonder if it was a great idea 5 seconds after (at what point we frantically try to un-send it).

Gmail‘s "Undo Send" feature gives us all the break we so desperately need.

Here's how to set it up:

1. Go to Settings > General, find “Undo Send” and choose 10 seconds from the drop-down (30 if you want to be on the safe side)

2. Save changes. This will reload your Gmail

3. Send an angry email to Google listing 50 reasons why this should be by default ;)
