Oops! How to Undo a Sent Email
If you have ever regretted sending an email or made a mistake while typing an email, Gmail has a feature called “Undo Send” that can help. When you hit the send button on an email, Gmail will show a message at the bottom of your screen that says the email was sent. But if you want to take it back, you can click the “Undo” button and the email will not be sent.
This feature can be very helpful if you want to correct a mistake or change something in the email. You can also adjust how long you have to undo the email. To set up “Undo Send,” go to Settings and then click on the “See All Settings” option. Then scroll down to the “Undo Send” section and choose how long you want the window to be (5, 10, 20, or 30 seconds) before the email is sent and can no longer be undone.
Save Time and Plan Ahead: How to Schedule Emails
Scheduling emails is useful if you want to send a message at a specific time, for example, to make sure it’s not too early or late for the recipient. Instead of hitting the send button, you can select the “schedule send” option in Gmail. You can either choose one of the suggested send times or set a specific time and date for your message to be sent. This way, you can write your email at any time and schedule it to be sent at the most convenient time for the recipient.
Smarter Writing with Smart Compose
Gmail’s Smart Compose feature can help you write emails more quickly by suggesting text as you type. For instance, if you write “I’ll call you,” the feature might suggest “tomorrow” to complete the sentence. You can choose to accept the suggestion by pressing the Tab key or keep typing if you don’t like the suggestion. If you don’t want to use the Smart Compose feature, you can turn it off in your Gmail settings.
How to Use Gmail’s Spell Check
Gmail has a spell-checking tool that can help you with misspelled words while you’re composing an email. The tool can also help with simple typing errors that happen while typing quickly. If the tool corrects a word and you’re not happy with the correction, the tool keeps the word underlined so you can undo the change. Additionally, Gmail has a grammar and autocorrect tool, and you can turn these features on or off in Settings > Spell Check.
Control Your Inbox With Mute
When you are part of an email group and find the constant notifications annoying, you can mute the conversation. To do this, open the email, click on the three-dot icon above the subject line, and select “Mute” from the options. This will stop any new notifications from that email thread. If you change your mind, you can always unmute the conversation.
Organize Your Inbox with Gmail Labels
Labels in Gmail are a way to organize your inbox so that you can easily find and sort messages. It’s like putting tags on your emails. For example, you might want to label all the emails from your boss or about a particular project. To create a label, you can click on the Labels icon in the sidebar and select Create New Label. Once you create a label, you can assign it to one or more emails. Then, you can find all the emails with that label in one place by clicking on the label in the sidebar.
