Every now and then we all send an email that we instantly regret sending. If you’re lucky enough to be on an exchange server, you can recall a sent email. Now you can do that from Gmail as well.

Go to your Gmail Settings and click the Labs tab. There is now the option to Undo Send.

Once you’ve enabled this feature, you have two chances to call back a sent message. You can hit cancel when you see the Sending … message.

Alternatively, you have about 5 seconds to hit Undo when the Sent message appears.

Either way, you have to react quickly. You better regret that Sent message instantly. But isn’t it nice to have the option?
