This article will teach you how to Undo, Delete, Edit, and cancel already sent email in Gmail.
Believe me when I say it is straightforward to undo a sent email.
Sending mails to someone is easy. But what about if the mail was sent to the wrong email address, or possibly sent with wrong or missing contents. What can be done about it?
It’s the habit of most people while sending mail sometimes they never review the person’s mail id. Sometimes, they don’t bother about content and end up sending it blindly.
Most times, after sending they realize oh my God! “What have I just done, I have sent this email to the wrong person” or with the wrong content, what should I do now?
You need not be worried; I will reveal to you how you can undo, edit, delete, or cancel email even after the message had been sent.
There are some settings that you need to follow in your Gmail account, after which then you can undo, delete, edit or cancel emails – even after you have sent them.
