It's a rare emailer who hasn't experienced “post-Send” regret, which is the sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach that comes when you realize you’ve just posted a long lament about the sad state of your love life to the entire company.

The Gmail programmers must have experienced that regret a time or two themselves because they did something about it: They created the Undo command. After you click Send, Gmail displays the Message Sent pop-up, shown in Figure 2-8, for a few seconds. Crucially for those of us with overly sensitive Send trigger fingers, that pop-up also includes an Undo command. Click Undo and Gmail plucks your message out of the outbox and opens it again so that you can make whatever changes you need (or toss the message in the trash). Whew!

FIGURE 2-8: Right after you send a message, you can change your mind by clicking Undo.

By default, Gmail displays the Message Sent pop-up (and therefore the Undo command) for only five seconds. If you'd like a bit more time, follow these steps:

1 Choose Settings ⇒ See all settings.Gmail opens the Settings page with the General tab displayed.

2 For the Undo Send setting, use the Send Cancellation Period: X Seconds drop-down list to set the number of seconds you want.You can choose 5, 10, 20, or 30 seconds.

3 Scroll down to the bottom of the Settings page and click Save Changes.
