How to get rid of overwrite in gmail

The frustration of Gmail's "overwrite" feature! Don't worry, I'm here to help you get rid of it.

Gmail's overwrite feature is designed to prevent duplicate messages from being sent, but it can be annoying when you want to send a new message with the same subject line. Here are a few ways to disable or work around this feature:

Method 1: Disable overwrite for a specific message

  1. Compose a new message with the same subject line as the one you want to overwrite.
  2. Before sending the message, click on the three vertical dots at the bottom of the compose window.
  3. Select "Show original" from the dropdown menu.
  4. In the original message, click on the three vertical dots again and select "Edit" from the dropdown menu.
  5. Make a small change to the message (e.g., add a space) and click "Save".
  6. Now, you can send the new message without Gmail overwriting the original one.

Method 2: Disable overwrite for all messages

  1. Go to your Gmail settings by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right corner of the page.
  2. Scroll down to the "General" tab.
  3. Look for the "Send and receive" section and uncheck the box next to "Overwrite messages with the same subject line".
  4. Click "Save Changes" at the bottom of the page.

Method 3: Use a third-party browser extension

There are several browser extensions available that can help you disable Gmail's overwrite feature. Here are a few options:

Method 4: Use a different email client

If you're really frustrated with Gmail's overwrite feature, you can consider using a different email client, such as Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird. These clients may not have the same overwrite feature, or you can disable it if it's available.
