  SAN FRANCISCO: Google has adapted its free e-mail service to help those letting loose after a few evening cocktails or succumbing to lovelorn moments from firing off messages they might regret in the morning.

  Mail Goggles software comes to life after dark and on weekends, when altered states of mind are more probable, and requires that five simple maths problems be answered correctly in less than a minute in order to send a Gmail missive. Gmail users can adjust their email settings to activate the Goggles feature and dictate the times it is active.

  'It will check that you're really sure you want to send that late night Friday e-mail,' Gmail engineer Jon Perlow wrote on Monday. 'And what better way to check than by making you solve a few simple maths problems after you click send to verify you're in the right state of mind?'
