Gmail Undo Send Is Only For Ninjas

Seriously? 5 seconds?

Gmail introduced a new feature last week called Undo Send. Once enabled, it holds your message for 5 seconds once you hit send and gives you the option to undo. While this may be good for the occasional time you hit send before your message was complete, its not good enough for those nastygrams you might accidentally send out.

Email is meant to be fast, but a 15 sec delay is hardly noticeable. It gives you enough time to process what you just send, say “Oh Sh*t” and hit undo. Otherwise, you have to be a ninja to do all that in 5 seconds.

Gmail team: Why not make the delay 15 seconds? Not all of us are as skillful as you.
