How to recall the sent mail in gmail

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

1. Go to your Gmail account and click on the gear icon in the upper right corner.
2. Select "See all settings" from the dropdown menu.
3. Scroll down to the "General" tab.
4. Look for the "Undo Send" option and toggle it to the "On" position.
5. Set the "Undo Send" time frame to the desired duration (e.g., 5, 10, 15, or 30 seconds).
6. Click "Save Changes" at the bottom of the page.

Now, when you send an email, you'll have the option to recall it within the set time frame. To do so:

1. Go to the "Sent" folder in your Gmail account.
2. Find the email you want to recall and click on the three vertical dots next to it.
3. Select "Undo" from the dropdown menu.
4. Confirm that you want to recall the email.

Method 2: Using the "Unsend" feature (only available for some accounts)

If you have a Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) account or a Gmail account with the "Unsend" feature enabled, you can use this method:

1. Go to your Gmail account and click on the three vertical dots next to the "Send" button.
2. Select "Unsend" from the dropdown menu.
3. Confirm that you want to recall the email.

Important notes:

• The "Undo Send" feature only works for emails sent within the set time frame. If you wait too long, you won't be able to recall the email.
• The "Unsend" feature is only available for some accounts and may not work for all emails.
• Recalling an email does not guarantee that the recipient will not have seen the email or that it will be deleted from their inbox.
• If you're using a third-party email client or app to access your Gmail account, the "Undo Send" feature may not work.
