Gmail's 'Undo Send' Lets You Recall E-mail Up to 30 Seconds After Sending

Gmail's 'Undo Send' Lets You Recall E-mail Up to 30 Seconds After Sending: "

The other night, an unnamed Switched staffer blasted her their coworkers with yet another e-mail video of sloths. Unfortunately, right after the 'send' button was hit, the anonymous sloth-lover realized that they had been inundating the poor Switched team with Bradypodidae info. (That's what they're called, you know.) If he or she had enabled the 'Undo Send' function in Gmail's Labs, which allows the quick-thinking to cancel an outgoing e-mail, the poor girl editor would have saved herself embarrassment, and saved her coworkers from another boring missive. Now, for those who have Gmail's 'Undo Send' feature enabled (and head to Labs if you don't), the 'general' tab under settings has been recently equipped with a drop-down menu, letting the regretful now cancel e-mails up to 30 seconds after they were initially sent. Although 30 seconds may seem paltry, it can be a lifesaver to those suddenly beset with sloth-related guilt. In the meantime, check this out.
