With more than 900 million account holders worldwide, according to the statistics that Google released last month, Gmailis by far the most popular email service, started 11 years ago.
As part of a settings change made this week, Google is now making it easier to steer clear of the trouble that can be caused by a misdirected or inappropriate email through the new feature Undo Send to cancel the delivery of an email within 30 seconds of hitting the send button, now a standard safeguard in Google’s Gmail.
Often it happens that we, unintentionally, send emails to inappropriate user accounts by mistake and the results seem a little funny often but very serious many a times. At times we feel glad to have options that undo the sent email and make it clear as if no emails were sent.
To fulfill the requirement stated above, Google’s experimental labs had already been on that project and the new feature ‘Undo Send’ had already been available for the past six years, but that required extra steps to get it for the Gmail users.
But from this week, Gmail account holders will be able to activate the protection in Gmail’s settings. To give users a fleeting chance to retrieve an email mistakenly sent to the wrong person or an ill-conceived communiqué, the new feature Undo Send delays the delivery of emails from 5 to 30 seconds after the send button is pressed.
Google inserted the “undo send” feature last month into an email management application called “Inbox” designed for mobile devices.
