Undo Gmail sent email in 5 seconds

Google has been very active these days and with the bunch of new features introduced in recent days; now Google has introduced another feature which may be of great help to most of the people.

Now Gmail allows you to unsent any email, sent to any email address, with in 5 seconds of clicking the send button. That actually means, when you turn on the undo feature in your Gmail Labs under Settings you email would not be sent immediately. Google would hold each sent email for 5 seconds so that if you really want to cancel sending, just click the undo option.

I sometimes forget to attach the required file in an email or sometimes I forget to CC the email to another relevant person. And even sometimes in a hurry I just click the send option unintentionally. But now, as soon as I realize that I have clicked the wrong button I can undo it instantaneously. This may happen to a lot of users a lot of times but now you have the option to catch it before it is too late.

You must be thinking that 5 seconds are too short to actually figure out any wrong, Micheal Leggett explains his theory of 5 seconds in the Gmail blog as.”My theory (which others shared) was that even just five seconds would be enough time to catch most of those regrettable emails.
