GMail labs has introduced undo send that allows you to recall a mail after hitting the send button – if you use it with in 5 seconds. It is a very cool feature to correct the mistakes in mails if we realize that something we shouldn’t have sent.

It’s not THAT useful since Gmail only gives you a 5 sec allowance to change your mind. So this is just for people who are to stupid to rethink before sending mails. It might also work for those who have forgotten to include an attachment. If they’re quick enough to realize it that is.
