Gmail has a built-in feature that lets you \u2018undo\u2019 an email that you\u2019ve sent. It\u2019s there to help you avoid last minute email accidents such as forgetting to attach a file. It gives you a brief window in which you can stop a sent message from being delivered. It\u2019s widely reported that this feature has saved lives. If you use MS Outlook and would like a similar feature on the desktop app, you can set it up yourself with an Outlook rule. Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n

Open Outlook, go to File and click the Manage Rules & Alerts button. Click New Rule and on the \u2018Rules Wizard\u2019 screen, \u00a0go to the \u2018Start from a blank rule\u2019 section. Click \u2018Apply rule on messages I send\u2019.<\/p>\n

\"outlook-rule-sent\"<\/span><\/p>\n

On the next screen, ignore everything and just click \u2018Next\u2019. Ignore the warning the on-screen prompt \u00a0gives.<\/p>\n

\"outlook-delay-send-2\"<\/span><\/p>\n

On the next screen, select the \u2018defer delivery by a number of minutes\u2019 option.<\/p>\n

\"outlook-delay-send-config\"<\/span><\/p>\n

After you\u2019ve selected the option, click the hyperlinked part to set how many minutes the sending should be delayed by. With the Outlook rule, you have the freedom to make your take-back\/undo-send window as long or as short as you want it to be. Click \u2018Ok\u2019 and save the rule.<\/p>\n

\"outlook-defer-send\"<\/span><\/p>\n

From this point on-ward, any email you sent will not actually be sent until one (or whatever number of minutes you\u2019ve set) after you hit the Send button.<\/p>\n

There aren\u2019t many ways to add exceptions to this unless you use a phrase to identify the email that should be excluded. You will then have to remember to include the phrase in your email\u2019s subject.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
