This email will self-destruct in 3, 2, 1… Nervous Nellies can opt for the 30-second option, while the Masochistic Marges can select five seconds. To set this up, go to the Settings icon in the top right hand corner of your Gmail homepage, choose Settings → General, then toggle on “undo send.” You can decide how long you have before the option to call your email back from the dark internet chasm disappears. Gmail now has the option to recall a sent message for up to 30 seconds after you’ve sent it. The momentary panic that sets in when you write “Dear Kylie” instead of “Dear Kendall” on that work email is now and forever officially handled.
Pressing G + (I, D, S, or T) takes you to a variety of different inboxes, starred emails, or drafts, depending on which letter you press. U: Mark as unread (to come back to later, unless, of course, you have the snooze hack enabled)Ī: Reply all (again, do not confuse this with “r”) R: Reply (quickly respond, also prevents you from the embarrassing “reply all”) Shift + ! : Report as spam (emails you don’t like will *poof* from your inbox)
