An outbox would be pretty nice.

#4The blog post makes it confusing about what was actually improved.
Gmail just increased the time you have to "undo". Before the max was 10 seconds. Now you can choose up to 30 seconds.

This point was raised when Gmail originally launched the feature. The problem is that it would essentially act as a read receipt, which is a privacy concern.

#6Personally, the "Undo Send" feature is one of my all-time favorites in Gmail. A lot of people are comparing it to an outbox, but while the two are functionally similar, they are psychologically different. The undo send simply gives you a few extra seconds to re-read your email and catch any small errors before sending.
When the feature first launched, I was worried I would eventually adjust to it, and stop re-reading emails before clicking "send". So far, that has not happened - it's effectively a psychological trick that continues to make my emails better proof-read.

Plus it would add to confusion - you see it in your inbox (unread) and then you don't and wonder what happened. With Exchange you can do this and it usually just gets ugly in practice.

It would have to be based on any interaction the receiver has with the email, including viewing the inbox. However, if we're already worried about that level of privacy, even that change would do no good since it would mean the sender would know when the receiver checked their inbox.

yeah... poor use of the word 'constantly'

What's wrong with the already existing Drafts feature?
