Currently, Gmail does not support unsending emails after 1 day. To avoid such scenarios in the future, consider enabling Gmail's built-in 'Undo Send' feature, which allows you to recall emails within a few seconds after sending. For long-term solutions, use third-party tools like 'Boomerang' or 'Mailtrack' that offer extended control over sent emails. Ensure emails are reviewed before sending to minimize errors.
