The nostalgia of sent mail!
Yes, you can edit sent mail in Gmail, but there are some limitations. Here's how:

- Select "See all settings."
- Scroll down to the "General" tab.
- Look for the "Undo Send" option and toggle it on.
- Set the "Undo Send" window to your desired time frame (e.g., 30 seconds).

Now, when you send an email, you'll have a short window to retract it. To do so:
- Go to the "Sent" folder.
- Find the email you want to edit.
- Click on the three vertical dots next to the email.
- Select "Undo" from the dropdown menu.

- Select "See all settings."
- Scroll down to the "General" tab.
- Look for the "Edit sent messages" option and toggle it on.
