Undo send? In order to do that, we would have to hold all outbound emails until a delay threshold was reached... I'm not sure if that's a good idea.

- Tyr42 13y agoIt's about 10 seconds, and it's saved me when I realize I forgot to attach stuff more than once.
- username111 13y agoGmail has it as an option (labs last I used gmail), that is the best way I think to do it. I don't ever find a need to undo an email though. I believe it was only for like 20-30 seconds as well that it offered undo.
- pyre 13y ago| Gmail has it as an option Supposedly Gmail added this as an option because their infrastructure was setup in such a way that the delay was already there. They just made hooks so that you could cancel it before it was sent.
- Intermernet 13y agoAny chance you could hunt down a reference for this? I regularly test email servers from my Gmail account (amongst others) and I've found that their outgoing messages hit my mail servers almost instantly.
- fiatpandas 13y agoWhat would make it a bad idea? Just delay sending it for a user-specified amount of time (I think Gmail does 5s, 10s, and 30s), then have the UI for undo-ing the send disappear after the time elapses
