After 6-Year Beta Test, All Gmail Users Get 'Undo Send'
jones_supa writes: Since 2009, Google has been beta testing a feature in Gmail called "Undo Send." It allows you to delay emails up to 30 seconds from when you press the "Send" button so you can take them back if you immediately decide it was a bad idea to press the send button. Google announced in a blog post that Undo Send is becoming an official feature. For users who already had the Undo Send beta enabled, the feature will remain on, and those who didn't can turn it on via the General tab under Settings. Users can choose if they want to hold their mail for 5, 10, 20 or 30 seconds.
The [Undo Post] button has been mislabeled as [Continue Editing], but it works even better than an undo post because you can just change your text as many times as you want until you hit the [Commit Forever] button. Note that the actual [Post] button has been mislabeled as [Preview] and the [Commit Forever] button has been mislabeled as [Post]. Slashdot is aware of this bug in the new code, but there are no resources available to fix it in the foreseeable future.
Is it just my observation, or are there way too many stupid people in the world?
Users can choose if they want to hold their mail for 5, 10, 20 or 30 seconds.
Can we choose between seconds and hours? It takes time for the Vodka to wear off.
I'd rather have Undo beta.
That feature is still in beta.
Don't waste your vote! Vote for whoever you want, unless you live in a swing state it won't matter anyways
6 years testing seems totally appropriate.
Agile coding at its best.
