Gmail is catching up with Outlook with a new feature in the popular free email service.
Google has finally released the "Undo Send" option. But you have to be quick. You have only five to 30 seconds after you hit send to reconsider and unsend that joke or reply all, The Next Web reported.

It's not enabled by default, so users will have to adjust their Gmail settings.
According to Google, first you click on the Gmail gear on the top right and choose settings. On the general tab, scroll down to "Undo Send." Check the box and set your cancellation period from 5 to 30 seconds. Then make sure you scroll to the bottom and click on save changes.
Once it sends, an option will appear to undo send. Click that if you would like to recall the email.
The Next Web reported that Undo Send has been in development since 2009, living and being tested in the Gmail "Labs" section of the company.
