How to recall email on google mail

To recall an email on 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

  1. 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.
  2. Click on the "Undo" button to retract the email.

Method 2: Using the "Undo Send" feature with a delay

  1. Before sending an email, click on the three vertical dots at the bottom of the compose window.
  2. Select "Undo Send" from the dropdown menu.
  3. Choose a delay time (5, 10, 15, or 30 seconds) before the email is sent.
  4. Click "Save" to save the changes.
  5. When you're ready to send the email, click the "Send" button.
  6. If you want to retract the email, click on the "Undo" button that appears at the top of the page within the delay time you specified.

Method 3: Using the "Undo Send" feature with a browser extension

  1. Install the "Undo Send" browser extension from the Chrome Web Store.
  2. Once installed, click on the extension icon in your browser toolbar.
  3. Select "Undo Send" from the dropdown menu.
  4. Choose a delay time (5, 10, 15, or 30 seconds) before the email is sent.
  5. When you're ready to send the email, click the "Send" button.
  6. If you want to retract the email, click on the "Undo" button that appears at the top of the page within the delay time you specified.

Note: The "Undo Send" feature only works for emails sent from the Gmail web interface, not for emails sent from the Gmail mobile app or other email clients.

Recalling an email that has already been sent

Unfortunately, there is no way to recall an email that has already been sent and is no longer in the "Undo Send" window. However, you can try to contact the recipient and ask them to delete the email or ignore it.
