Everything you need to know about HoldMail
HoldMail integrates seamlessly with Gmail's interface. When you click "Send", instead of immediately sending your email, HoldMail shows a countdown overlay giving you time to cancel. All processing happens locally in your browser - we never access your email content.
Free version gives you a 5-second delay with basic cancel options. Premium unlocks custom delays (5s-2 minutes), full-screen countdown mode, send confirmation dialog, quick presets (15s, 30s, 60s), advanced notifications, priority support, and multi-device sync.
HoldMail currently works with Gmail in Chrome browser on desktop and mobile web. It doesn't work with the Gmail mobile app. We're exploring mobile app integration for future updates.
If you close your browser or Gmail tab during the countdown, the email will NOT be sent. HoldMail only sends emails when the countdown completes while Gmail is open and active. This is a safety feature to prevent accidental sends.
You can cancel in multiple ways: press the ESC key, click the "Cancel" button in the countdown overlay, or simply close the Gmail tab. The email will be saved as a draft so you can edit and resend later.
Absolutely. HoldMail never reads, stores, or accesses your email content. All processing happens locally on your device. We only collect anonymous usage statistics to improve the extension. Your emails remain completely private.
Free users get a fixed 5-second delay. Premium users can set custom delays anywhere from 5 seconds to 2 minutes, plus quick presets for 15s, 30s, and 60s delays. You can change these settings anytime in the extension popup.
HoldMail works with regular email sending. For scheduled emails, Gmail handles the scheduling directly, so HoldMail's countdown won't appear. HoldMail is designed for immediate sends where you want a moment to reconsider.
Click any "Start Monthly" or "Start Annual" button on this page, or click the upgrade button in the HoldMail extension popup. Payment is processed securely through ExtensionPay. Premium features activate immediately after payment.
Yes, you can cancel anytime through your ExtensionPay account or by contacting support. There are no cancellation fees. You'll continue to have premium access until your current billing period ends, then automatically revert to the free version.
