If you have more than one contact with similar name (first name), the chances are, you must have, at some point of time, emailed the wrong contact. It has happened with me multiple times and i am glad, the latest gmail labs feature called “Got the Wrong Bob” helps you prevent that.

“Got the wrong Bob?” is a new Labs feature aimed at sparing you this kind of embarrassment. Turn it on from the Labs tab under Gmail Settings, and based on the groups of people you email most often, Gmail will try to identify when you’ve accidentally included the wrong person — before it’s too late.

If you want to test “Got the wrong Bob?” out, try faking a mistake like this:

1) Think of three people you often email together.

2) Compose a message to two of them.

3) Start typing the third member of the group (for help you can use one of the people we suggest in “Don’t forget Bob”), but then auto-complete on the wrong name.

The latest labs feature is certainly a cool addition after the Undo Sent Mail functionality feature which was added using labs few months back.
