New useful feature on Gmail

Google labs has SO many pet projects, a few are very useful, a few very whimsical.

How often do you regret after hitting the Send button in Gmail? You either hit reply-all when you didn't really want or sent a mail to the wrong person etc etc..

Recently they have introduced an "Undo Send" option in Gmail. When you enable this option, it will let you prevent the delivery of the message, if you undo it within 5 seconds I guess. Remember the top of the browser where Gmail says "Sending message..." or "Loading.." in an yellow background? It shows the "undo send" option here. It can surely save a few blushes! To enable this, in Gmail, click on "Settings" and go to "Labs" tab. Scroll down and you will see this option, just enable it.

They might be allowing for a larger window for undoing, but naturally that means there will be a lag in delivering and receiving a message. For more information on this read http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-10200370-2.html

While I was scrolling down the Labs tab in Gmail, I found so many other little tools, worth spending a bit of time over them too, just to spice things up :)
