Ooops, hit โ€˜Sendโ€™ too soon?

Most of us have been in the situation where you hit send on a email and then realise that you have sent it to the wrong person. Well, that can now be reverted.

By enabling the โ€˜Undo Sendโ€™ lab in Gmail, you will be able to stop messages from being sent for a few seconds after hitting the send button. Cool right?

To enable this lab and remove that cringe moment follow the instructions below.
