Users can now call an email message back

An ‘Undo Send’ feature introduced in Google’s email programme holds a message for five seconds before sending it.

WASHINGTON Just about everybody has sent an email, noticed a mistake as they hit the ‘send’ button and wanted to call it back. Google’s Gmail now gives users a brief window to do just that.An ‘Undo Send’ feature introduced in Google’s email programme holds a message for five seconds before sending it. Gmail’s sent mail confirmation message now includes an ‘Undo’ link. Clicking on ‘Undo’ will return a message to its draft form. The feature does not, however, allow a user to recall a message that’s already been sent. ‘It just holds your message for five seconds so you have a chance to hit the panic button,’ Google said in a post on Thursday on the official Gmail blog announcing the new feature.
