Google Adds Undo Send Feature to Gmail

It's happened to us all...we write an email, hit "send" and then realize that it was accidentally sent to the wrong person. Google has a fix for this, their new Undo Send feature for Gmail. Undo Send allows you to stop the delivery of any Gmail message within moments of sending it…and when we say "moments", we mean it. Messages are held in queue for only five seconds…so you better think quick!

To activate Undo Send, go to the Settings/Labs tab in Gmail, enable it, and you're set. Here is how it works: Once the feature is activated, an "Undo" link will appear (as shown in the picture below) next to every sent email confirmation. Wish you hadn't sent it? Click the link and it takes you back to the composing window and confirms the retrieval. But remember…you've only got five seconds!
