Nervous God Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Anyone notice that when they are sending a email by gmail, after hitting send, you can;t stop the email? The "X" box is grayed out and doesn't work? I am using Firefox on Windows 7 by the way. Greatly appreciate any feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCorinthian Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Thats a general function. Dont hit send if you dont mean it. Once the process starts, the only way to stop it would be to unplug your comp from the internet access. And even then, some info will go through and it is likely most of it will.

Pom Michael Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 I still have the Cancel button during the send. And I have a Google Labs add in so that give me an "Undo" button that is active Undo Send - by Yuzo F Oops, hit "Send" too soon? Stop messages from being sent for a few seconds after hitting the send button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waerth Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Hi NG I use Mozilla Thunderbird which sends out through Googles SMTP. You can always cancel up untill it is 100%. The advantage is you can always go through your mails offline and your mails are all stored online as well! Plus you have all of your accounts in one place. Having 4 email accounts (2 google and 2 none google ones this works great. Unless Thai internet doesnt work. But in that case I can still read emails offline! I do have a 10gb plus emailfolder on my laptop now though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous God Posted April 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Waerth that's good advice. Thing is reading pm's post, i 555 'googled' the problem and it appears people agree with me. They WANT to be able to cancel a email while it is being sent. But the default is NOT to be able to cancel. People here, any think being able to cancel a email after hitting send should be a feature not a option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waerth Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Should be a feature. So many times when mailing in a hurry because of a deadline with castings I made mistakes which could have cost me dearly and I only noticed upon hitting send. I can then still cancel with Thunderbird .... which is great. W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamokhamok Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Ah but can you be sure it has been cancelled ?? Does it tell you that it has not been sent ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCorinthian Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Corinthan, most web pages have a stop or cancel button. Pm, got a link for that? I would not say most, but, yes, some do. Gmail it depends on the version and the area you are in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waerth Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Ah but can you be sure it has been cancelled ?? Does it tell you that it has not been sent ? Yes it does cancel it as the upload to google never happened once you cancel it. Also it doesnt appear in the gmail send folder when you check online. So it works perfectly as long as you hit cancel before it hits 100% completed. W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
