Apple mail cancel sending message

The frustration of accidentally sending an email and wanting to cancel it!

In Apple Mail, you can cancel a sent message in some cases, but it's not always possible. Here are the steps to try:

Method 1: Cancel sending a message before it's delivered

1. Go to the "Sent" folder in Apple Mail.
2. Select the message you want to cancel.
3. Click on the "Edit" menu and select "Cancel Sending" (or use the keyboard shortcut Command + Shift + C).
4. If the message has not been delivered yet, you should see a confirmation dialog box asking if you're sure you want to cancel the sending process. Click "Cancel" to cancel the sending process.

Method 2: Recall a sent message (if the recipient hasn't read it)

1. Go to the "Sent" folder in Apple Mail.
2. Select the message you want to recall.
3. Click on the "Message" menu and select "Recall Sent Message" (or use the keyboard shortcut Command + Shift + R).
4. If the recipient hasn't read the message yet, you should see a confirmation dialog box asking if you're sure you want to recall the message. Click "Recall" to recall the message.

Important notes:

• Canceling a sent message or recalling a sent message only works if the recipient hasn't read the message yet.
• If the recipient has already read the message, it's too late to cancel or recall it.
• Some email providers, like Gmail, may not support recalling sent messages.
• Canceling or recalling a sent message may not always work, as it depends on the email provider's settings and the recipient's email client.
