“Got the wrong Bob?” – a new Gmail Labs feature saves you from embarrassment of sending the mail to a wrong person.

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.

Wrong Bob

A lot of times you get a mail from a stranger asking, “Was this email intended to me?”. When you check, you realized that it wasn’t the right Bob.
If you happen to email a similar set of people together, say, Rajeev Lahoty, Rajesh Lakhotia and Ashish Tyagi, but this time you included Ashish Gupta instead.  “Got the wrong Bob” will warn you that it might be a mistake.  But this will work only if you’re emailing more than two people at once.
I think this is really a cool lab feature and recommend you to start using it immediately to save yourselves from the embarrassments.
