What is how to recall an email in gmail?

Gmail offers a feature called "Undo Send" that allows you to recall an email shortly after sending it. Here's how it works:

  • Activation: The "Undo Send" feature is enabled by default in Gmail. You can adjust the cancellation period in your Gmail settings. Go to Settings -> See all settings -> General. Look for the "Undo Send" section.

  • Cancellation Period: You can choose a cancellation period of 5, 10, 20, or 30 seconds. This is the window of time you have to recall the email.

  • How to Recall: After sending an email, a small notification will appear at the bottom left of your screen saying "Message sent" with options to "Undo" or "View message." Clicking "Undo" will stop the email from being sent.

  • Important Considerations:

    • You must click "Undo" immediately after sending the email, within the chosen cancellation period.
    • The email is not actually "sent" during the cancellation period; it's held by Gmail. Clicking "Undo" cancels the sending process.
    • Once the cancellation period expires, the email is sent, and you cannot recall it.
