Unsend Or Edit Sent Emails Using unSend.It

Unsend.It is an email service which allows to edit sent email, edit attachments and even self-destruct/remove the sent messages. (Although removing emails will remove the message body and attachments, the subject line will still be visible in the recipient’s inbox.)

It can also provide notifications when the recipient opens an email.

These features are supported for all popular email services like Gmail, Outlook.com, and even for custom email addresses.

Using it is simple.

First, sign up for free with a username and an email address. (The difference between free and premium plans is that free has ads appearing at bottom of sent emails while premium is ad-free).

Then access the central unSend.it interface for various email related tasks which are supported.

Basically, there are four sections – Compose (for sending emails), Alerts (to receive various notifications like opened emails and so on), Sent Mail (list of all sent emails) and Settings ( to change functionality).

To send emails that can be self-destructed/removed or get notifications when opened by recipient, click on Compose. Enable the features at the bottom of email window as needed.
