How can I undo a sent email message?

Have you ever clicked "Send" on an email and then IMMEDIATELY noticed a spelling error or that you forgot to attach the referenced attachment? GoogleApps has a feature in it labs called "Undo Send".

This only recalls a message or action, within the time allotted in the settings (10, 20 or 30 seconds). If you notice it 2 minutes after the email is sent, the action cannot be undone.

Here is a link to instructions from Google Help to Enable Undo Send

Undo Send GoogleApps lab setting.

Pleases note: Save the Change on the second part of the instructions. Also, we find 20 seconds to be a decent period of time. Also, you do not have to wait for the Undo countdown to finish if you are confident your email send or other action is good. Go on to your next task.
