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, windstreamhosting.com doesn't offer anything like an “unsend” or “undo send” feature in its interface.

Good news though! windstreamhosting.com supports IMAP, so you can access the “undo send” feature through a desktop email client like Mailbird.
