This 'Undo Send' functionality delays the email's dispatch, providing a brief window to cancel its delivery. Users can adjust this delay period from the default five seconds up to a maximum of thirty seconds through the Gmail settings on desktop. AI

IMPACT Allows users to correct errors in outgoing emails, preventing potential miscommunications.
