When it was first introduced, the default Undo Send interval is 5 seconds. Well, now Gmail has put up an option to choose from 0, 5 or 10 seconds interval.
Go to you setting page to set this up. So happy now??
Set Gmail Undo Send to 10 seconds
Zoho Mail’s version of Gmail’s Undo Send
It is interesting to see, how Zoho counter back on some enhancement Google made on it services.
Recently, when Gmail introduced Undo Send last week, Zoho via sponsor post on Techmeme, introduced similar feature on Zoho Mail, called Outbook, which Zoho claim has been there quite sometime.
It work exactly the same way, except that Zoho Mail allow you to set how long(in minutes) you want the email to stay in outbox temporarily, before it sent to recipients. Google’s Undo Send at the other end, only hold the email for 5 seconds.
Zoho Mail also put an option, to send the email immediately. Head to Zoho Mail’s blog post for more details including how to set this up.
Gmail allow undo send email, only for 5 seconds
In Microsoft Outlook, there is recall feature to recall emails that you sent unintentionally, or contain mistake that you only notice afterward.
Undo Send, the new Gmail lab feature, trying to handle this incident, on slightly different way. Every time you send an email, an ‘Undo’ link will appear on top of the sent email, for 5 seconds before it is disappear. It is said 5 minutes is enough to notice and catch that email, although I feel this is only suite for short emails.
Clicking the ‘Undo’ link will bring that email back to the compose email screen where you can edit back that email. Remember, it can’t pull back email that already sent.
The next Gmail lab feature that I wish to have is, ’recall’ feature, just like what Outlook can do, or even better.
