How to recall email in google mail
To recall an email in Gmail, you can use the "Undo Send" feature, which allows you to retract an email within a certain time frame after sending it. Here's how:
Method 1: Using the "Undo Send" feature
- After sending an email, click on the "Undo" button that appears at the top of the page. This button is only available for a short period of time, usually around 5-10 seconds.
- Click on the "Undo" button to retract the email.
Method 2: Using the "Undo Send" toggle
- Go to your Gmail settings by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right corner of the page.
- Scroll down to the "General" tab.
- Look for the "Undo Send" toggle and toggle it on.
- Once enabled, you'll have a short window of time (usually around 5-10 seconds) to retract an email after sending it.
Method 3: Using the "Send and Archive" feature
- Before sending an email, click on the "Send and Archive" button instead of just "Send".
- This will send the email and archive it immediately, so it won't be visible in your inbox.
Important notes:
- The "Undo Send" feature only works for emails sent from the Gmail web interface, not from the Gmail mobile app.
- The feature only works for a short period of time after sending the email, usually around 5-10 seconds.
- If you've already sent an email and want to recall it, you can try contacting the recipient directly and asking them to delete the email.
- If you've sent an email to multiple recipients, you won't be able to recall it for all of them at once. You'll need to recall each email individually.
