Using Undo Send in Hour.com webmail
The option to unsend email is a feature that allows for retracting your message after sending it so you can make appropriate edits, add an attachment, or forgo sending it altogether.
Unfortunately, Hour.com (mail.com) doesn't offer anything like an “unsend” or “undo send” feature in its interface.
Good news though! Hour.com (mail.com) supports IMAP, so you can access the “undo send” feature through a desktop email client like Mailbird.
Undo Send is not available for hour.com

In this tab, you can choose the timeframe in which the “undo send” email feature works. By default, the feature is set to 15 seconds, but you can also extend this period for up to 30 seconds.

Once you click the Undo button, the message goes back to your drafts.
You can find it in the relevant folder and alter it in any way necessary before sending it again. Alternatively, you can scrap it and create a new message altogether.
