6. Let us begin with the section of "Undo send." Access that page. There, you can turn on the feature of undo send, which lets you cancel the letter you've just sent to someone. It is possible to cancel the letter within a period of time up to 30 seconds. In order to turn it on, place a tick near "Let me…" and choose the period when you can cancel a letter. After it, click on "Save."

Check or uncheck certain fields and click on "Save."

   Here, you can opt whom will you reply in the reading pane
10. Go to the section of "Reply settings." By default, this setting is set as "Reply all." If a sender, for example, sends a message not only to you, but to a few or more people at the same time, you will reply not only to him, but to the others as well. If you want to reply only to him in such a case, check "Reply." Click on the "Save" button.
