As a Gmail user, I find the Undo Send feature very valuable. I have it set for 30 seconds and regularly take advantage of it to improve an email after I first decided to send it. However, one disadvantage of the feature is that it adds an extra 30 seconds of waiting before the email will actually be delivered.

Occasionally I want an email to be sent immediately and delivered ASAP - for example if I'm on the phone with someone waiting for it. I don't need to the option to undo it. I don't want to go through the settings to disable the feature, then send the email, then go back to the settings and enable it again.

How can I force a single email to be sent ASAP?

I tried closing the "Undo" box after sending it and I tried viewing the message. In both cases there was no way left I could find in the UI to trigger the Undo any more, but in testing it still didn't trigger the message to deliver any faster.

I'm pretty sure there's no way to send it immediately if you have undo send enabled.

Your sent email sits in the queue with all others and you can't expedite that.
