Quick tip of the day

Have you sent an email to everyone meant for one person? Well, Gmail has the ability to unsend an email by adjusting one setting before writing your email. Tap or click here for the exact steps.

This message recall will also allow you to modify spelling errors, incorrect recipients, subject lines and even append forgotten attachments.

Be sure to adjust the setting to a higher number than the default setting of five seconds. Let’s face it; five seconds isn’t even enough to realize you made an error, let alone hit the unsend button. Thankfully, Gmail settings provide the option of pausing an email delivery for up to 30 seconds.
