How to unsend and schedule email in macOS Ventura By Alex Wawro published 14 July 2022 Finally, you can "undo" email in macOS Mail - here's how (Image credit: one photo/Shutterstock) macOS Ventura has arrived, and if you've installed at least a beta version of it on your Mac, you now have a smorgasbord of new features and tools to try out. One of my favorite new macOS Ventura features is the ability you now have to schedule and unsend email via the Mail client. I can't count how many times I've quickly written and sent an email, only to look at it again a few seconds after hitting "Send" and realize I'd made a huge mistake. While email clients like Gmail have offered some form of "takeback" button for sent email for some time, until recently you had no such option on the macOS Mail client. However, Apple's addressed that oversight with macOS Ventura, and now you have up to 10 seconds to take back an email in Mail once you've sent it. Of course, 10 seconds isn't a lot of time, so it behooves you to know exactly how to unsend email in Mail so you don't waste precious seconds looking for the right button. Knowing how to schedule email helps you get more done, too, which is why this abbreviated guide will show you exactly how to do both - so you'll be ready when the time comes! How to unsend email in Mail on macOS Ventura 1. If you've written an email in the macOS Ventura Mail client and hit Send, then decided you'd rather not, look for the Undo Send button in the lower-left corner of the Mail client. It's at the bottom of the left hand menu, and you better hit it quick because it disappears after ten seconds! Look for the "Undo Send" button at the bottom of the lefthand menu in Mail.

Once you're ready for sure this time, hit Send (though you can always undo it again if you need to, and you're quick enough!)

However, note that even if you're not around, your Mac needs to be powered on and Mail needs to be running in order to send a scheduled email! Here's how to do it. 1. Once you've got an email ready to go, click on the little dropdown menu to the right of the Send button to open the Schedule menu. It's a very small, thin V-shaped icon that looks like a downward-pointing arrow, and you can see it highlighted in the image below. (Image credit: Future) 2. Opening that menu should display a brief list of sending options. Click Send 9:00PM Tonight or Send 8:00AM Tomorrow to quickly schedule for one of those time. If you want a specific time, go to the next step. (Image credit: Tom's Guide) 3. If you want to schedule your message for some time other than what's suggested in the list, click Send Later then pick the exact time and date the email will go out. (Image credit: Future) 4. And it's as easy as that! If you want to keep tabs on all your emails that are scheduled to go out, simply click the Scheduled tab in Mail to see the list. From there, you can edit them to your heart's content. (Image credit: Future) With these two simple tricks you've significantly increased your skills as a Mail power user in macOS Ventura. Just remember: you only have ten seconds to undo an email, and your scheduled emails will only send if your Mac is powered on with Mail running at the time they're meant to go out!
