Don’t worry, Gmail does have a solution for it. Google gives you ‘Undo Send’ option to cancel any sent e-mail that you have inadvertently sent.

While the option is available in Gmail settings, keep this in mind that this feature is disabled by default and you will have to activate it manually using steps mentioned below.

HTC accepts that in the imaging performance in the M9 was not up to the kind of spec of what they really like to see in a flagship. HTC is giving a slight boost to the selfi...
