Sometimes I send messages I shouldn’t send. Like the time I sent that late night email to my ex-friend. Gmail can’t always prevent you from sending messages you might later regret, but today we’re launching a new Labs feature I wrote called Mail Goggles which may help.
When you enable Mail Goggles, it will check that you’re really sure you want to send that late night email. And what better way to check than by making you solve a few simple math problems after you click send to verify you’re in the right state of mind?
By default, Mail Goggles is only active late night on the weekend as that is the time you’re most likely to need it. Once enabled, you can adjust when it’s active in the General settings.
Hopefully Mail Goggles will prevent many of you out there from sending messages you wish you hadn’t. Like that late night memo — I mean mission statement — to the entire firm.
The service is not an automatic tab. To request the beta version – click here

a cute idea! #1 enough people hate us, we dont need to hate or knock ourselves!
Math Problems? This might be impossible for a Lubavitcher even when he’s sober.
