Reverting a sent email in Gmail can be a bit tricky, but it's possible in certain situations. Here are the steps:

Method 1: Undo Send (available for 30 seconds)

  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 and look for the "Undo Send" setting.
  4. Enable the "Enable Undo Send" option and set the "Undo Send cancellation period" to 30 seconds.

  1. Go to your Gmail account and click on the "Undo" button that appears at the top of the page after you send an email.
  2. Click "Undo" again to confirm.

Method 2: Use the "Send and Archive" feature

If you've sent an email and want to retract it, you can use the "Send and Archive" feature to move the email to your archive folder. This won't actually retract the email, but it will remove it from your inbox and prevent others from seeing it.

  1. Go to your Gmail account and find the email you want to retract.
  2. Click on the three vertical dots next to the email and select "Move to: Archive".
  3. Confirm that you want to move the email to the archive folder.

Method 3: Use a third-party add-on

Keep in mind that these add-ons may have limitations and may not work in all situations. Additionally, some email providers may not allow you to retract sent emails, so it's always a good idea to check with your email provider before attempting to retract an email.
