How to recall Sent Mail in the latest Gmail 2020

Email is gradually replacing traditional mail sent by post and Gmai is the largest email service in the world. If you are a person who has to send a lot of emails every day and mistakes are inevitable. But after pressing the Send button, you will discover that you have sent the wrong email. No wonder Google knew this in advance and added the feature to recover Sent Mail in Gmail in the fastest time. You need to install some more features in Gmail to be able to recall Mail in Gmail when the Send button is pressed.

Set the time to recall Sent Mail in Gmail

By default, Gmail only gives you 5 secondsy after pressing the button To send to retrieve email. If this is too short, you’ll need to extend the time Gmail will hold pending emails before sending. After that, the email cannot be retrieved.

Unfortunately, you cannot change the length of this cancellation period in the Gmail App. You will need to do this in the menu Setting of Gmail on the web on Windows or Mac.

To increase the time it takes to get your sent mail back in Gmail, you need to log in to your Gmail account and click on the icon Gear in the upper right corner above the email list.

From here, click on options “View all settings”.

In the tab Shared of your Gmail settings, you’ll see an option for Undo Send with default cancellation time 5 second. You can change the time to 10, 20 and 30 second intervals from the drop-down menu. In my opinion, the longer you set, the safer it will be when sending the wrong mail to be able to retrieve the sent mail in Gmail.

Once you have changed the cancellation time, press Save changes at the bottom of the menu.

The cancellation period you selected will be applied to your entire Google account. So it applies to emails you send in Gmail on the web as well as to emails sent in the Gmail app on your iPhone, iPad, or Android device.

However, you should use more feature to check whether mail has been sent or not to make sure that the recipient has not received the Email you sent wrongly.

How to retrieve mail sent by Gmail on computer

If you want to retrieve an email sent in Gmail, you will need to set up the email recovery time as set up above. This period starts from when you click on the . button To send.

To retrieve sent mail, press the . button Undo appears in the pop-up shown in the lower left corner. After the undo archive is complete, you will return to the Email editor window and edit the desired content again.

Recall Sent Emails on iPhone and Android

The process of recovering sent mail in Gmail when sent on iPhone, iPad or Android is the same as how to retrieve mail on a computer. When you send an email in Google’s Gmail App, a black box will appear at the bottom of your screen, letting you know that the email has been sent.

Button Undo will appear on the right side of this pop-up. If you want to prevent the email from sending, tap this button before the cancellation time expires.
