When you click the “send” button and realize there was an error that needs to be corrected, can you recall the email to set it right? Yes. Our emails consist of all types of content; formal and informal, and we need to be careful with the latter ones. But sometimes we miss proofreading and end up worried about the impression we are making on the mail recipient. Luckily, Gmail has a feature “Undo Send” the email within 30 seconds after emailing which you can correct and resend.

Enable Undo Send Feature

Sign into your Gmail and look into the inbox
Click on See All Settings
The fifth option under General Tab is Undo Send
In the Undo Send option, you can select the time of cancellation of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 seconds of grace period
Click on Save Changes located at the bottom of the page

Check if the changes are saved

Type a test email with enough substance and click on send, you will get a Message Sent notification at the bottom, and at the right is the Undo key, click on it. The message is recalled in the draft section which can be edited and resent.
