Gmail new feature

A new experimental feature Undo Send was added to Gmail yesterday by Google, destined to save users from embarrassment.
When clicked, 'Undo' will take you back to the composing window and confirm the retrieval of the e-mail.
However, the feature holds e-mails in a queue for only five seconds; some already argue that this is not long enough.

Thanks for the information Anny.....

I was looking for this kind of feature.........it will surely save users from embarrassment,

i faced this kind of embarrassment many times...once I wanted to send an email to my girlfriend but it was redirected to my dad's email address.

Yeah, but I thought I read that the delay was only 5 seconds? That is hardly long enough for someone to really start to feel remorseful about a "nasty gram"

That's a really nice feature, most of us will always spot a typo right after we clicked the send button ;)
