Ever cranked out an email in a fit of rage, only to regret it later? Hit 'reply all' when you only meant to hit 'reply'? Sent an email to a VIP only to realize seconds later that you didn't attach the file?
These and myriad other email 'situations' can be extradinarily unpleasant. But for Gmail users, many of them can now be a thing of the past.
So those of you who tend to get yourselves into unpleasant email 'situations' every now and then, take note: Gmail has launched an 'undo send' feature.


But there's a catch - you only get five seconds to hit 'undo send.' After that time window, well, you're on your own.
To enable this feature, Turn on 'Undo Send' option in 'Gmail Labs' under 'Settings.'
Now, if the geniuses at Google could only create an 'Undo Send' for all those times you say something that doesn't quite come out right
