- atq2119 6y agoThis only works because you can configure gmail to send email on a timer instead of immediately. Also, may I kindly suggest that you aren't putting enough thought into your emails? That may be fine for single-recipient emails (depending on your environment), but when your email is received by many people it's an unkind act that shows disregard for the recipient's time and attention.

- ric2b 6y agoThat's because you have a 30s timer that doesn't actually send anything until it counts to 0. After it actually sends the e-mail, there's no going back.
- Izkata 6y agoAnd for like a decade this was only available under Gmail Labs, and without it enabled gmail would send immediately and couldn't "undo" the send.
- jcelerier 6y agosure, but that 30s timer is an incredibly useful feature, when you misclick, when your cat walks on your keyboard, when you remember that you forgot $RANDOM_THING, etc etc
- ric2b 6y agoSure, and git could have an option to add a timer as well, but I don't think people notice git push mistakes as quickly as they do with e-mails.
