Yes, you can unsend an email but it depends on your email provider's features. For instance, Gmail offers the option to undo send within a 30-second window after sending. To use this feature, quickly click on 'Undo' at the bottom left of your screen right after sending the email. If it's been more than 10 seconds but within the undo timeframe, you can still retract it. However, if this window passes, the email cannot be unsent.
