In Outlook I used to set up a filter that created a definable delay on
mail being sent. This allowed me to personally stop an email from
leaving the Out-box for a certain amount of time. Personally I set my
Outlook to hold all outgoing email in the Out-box for a period of one
minute.

This allows me to rethink things immediately after pressing send. For
paranoid people like me, it give you a second to double check the
recipient and make sure you didn't accidentally "reply to all" when
that was not the intention.

This is basically a ticking clock version of the Mail Googles Lab.

Instead of having to be annoyed by a match problem, you are instead
given a slight delay before mail is sent for re-considering your email
or changing it last second if needed.

In outlook, if I choose to re-open an email in the delay period, the
email moves back into draft status until I again press send. And again
it is set for the one minute delay.

I would be very happy to see this feature added to Labs and I think it
would be a very easy feature to add.

Thanks!
