Introduction

Instant regret: when you press send and realize that the email you sent had a glaring spelling mistake in the subject line. For a long time, users just had to accept their mistakes and move on — all that has changed with Outlook Web Access (OWA).

With OWA’s “Undo Send” feature, you can cancel sending an email for up to 10 seconds after pressing the send button.

Here’s how to set this feature up for your account:

Instructions

1. Click the settings icon in the upper right-hand corner of your screen.
   
   
   
   
2. Select Mail and then Compose and reply.
   
   
   
   
3. Scroll down to find Undo send and choose between 0, 5 or 10 seconds. Click Save.
   

   

4. To cancel sending an email, just click the Undo button at the bottom of the screen before your delay runs out.
