it's possible to cancel/recall a sent email? Sending an email is not an arduous task. However, there are other circumstances where you prematurely send an email or may have sent the mail to the wrong person. Please let explain.

    What you need is a setting called "undo send" in gmail. Enable it now so you can start undoing emails going forward. I use this a lot.

      If you make a typo or regret sending a message, you can undo the action by enabling "Undo send." This setting gives you the option to take back a message you just sent.
      To enable Undo Send:
      1. Click the gear in the top right .
      2. Select Settings.
      3. Scroll down to "Undo Send" and click Enable.
      4. Set the cancellation period (the amount of time you have to decide if you want to unsend an email).
      5. Click Save Changes at the bottom of the page.
      If you had Undo Send turned on in Gmail Labs, your Undo Send setting will be on by default.

    The email recall feature of Gmail is interesting but far from 100% reliable. If you're likely to need to recall emails often I'd recommend running a tests, even if you're just using friends and family as test subjects.

    Yes is possible until 30 seconds after sending mail.

    Go on settings - generals - "undo send", choose how many second and save.

    After than, every time you send an email will appears a message asking you if you want to canc your mail!
