#100thingsIlearnt- Lesson 10 : How to undo an email in gmail

Hello,hello :) It has been a long time. If you are reading this I must apologize on how I have completely forgotten about the task at hand. Nonetheless, I am hoping I regularly post. the thing is, in a day I pick up so many random things that I often forget to document them, or think it is not significant enough.Like the other day, I figured out how to add shapes via powerpacks on Visual Studio 2014. And IT TOOK ME AN HOUR TO FIGURE OUT SOMETHING THIS SIMPLE. Obviously nobody blogged about it, because it seems silly. But, it really was not. Especially if you have lost touch then it most definitely is not. Gah, was that too nerdy? Well, if you dont know what VS is you probably do not need it. anyway, the point is, that I learnt nothing is too simple, so Im documenting all little things, and if it didnt help you you are just smarter than me :D. Woohoo. Congratulations(Not someone you should be comparing yourself to)Anyway, Im an avid google fanatic, so naturally my go to email portal is gmail, and I goof up sometimes when I send mails. So I was like google must must must hava a way to solve my goofiness,right? Coz Google does everything. Soooo, I browsed and found this.The pictures aren't mine, but I forgot the source. Anyway,so if you are one of those people that send an email but forget attachments(That DOES happen) or you were informal in a formal email DO NOT WORRY GMAIL SAVES YOU!!

Here is what you do:

1. Click the gear icon in the top right corner of your Gmail window and select Settings from the dropdown menu.

2. Select Labs from the row of tabs.

3. Scroll all the way to the bottom where you see Undo Send and click Enable.

4. Hit Save Changes at the bottom.

5. Now when you send an email, the yellow dialogue that displays "Your message has been sent" will also, for a few seconds (the time is configurable) give you the option to Undo. The email is only actually sent once the Undo option disappears.

6. Just by clicking on that button you can undo your message.

Pretty simple,right?

Go do it right now. God knows when it will come in handy.

Until then,

Keep learning :)
