Are you able to unsend an email in yahoo mail

The eternal question!

Unfortunately, Yahoo Mail does not have a built-in "unsend" feature, which means that once you send an email, it's gone forever (or at least, it's very difficult to retrieve).

However, there are a few workarounds you can try to recover or recall an email in Yahoo Mail:

  1. Undo Send: Yahoo Mail has a feature called "Undo Send" that allows you to retract an email within a short period of time (usually 5-10 seconds) after sending it. To enable this feature, go to Settings > More Settings > Undelete Messages, and toggle the switch next to "Undo Send" to the "On" position. Note that this feature only works if you've enabled it before sending the email.
  2. Recall an email: If you've sent an email and want to recall it, you can try sending a new email to the recipient with a "RECALL" subject line and a brief message explaining that you want to recall the previous email. This method is not foolproof, as the recipient may have already read or deleted the original email.
  3. Contact the recipient: If you've sent an email and want to retract it, you can try contacting the recipient directly and asking them to delete the email. This method is more effective if you have a good relationship with the recipient and they're willing to cooperate.
  4. Use a third-party add-on: There are several third-party add-ons and browser extensions available that claim to allow you to unsend emails in Yahoo Mail. However, be cautious when using these add-ons, as they may not work as advertised or may compromise your email security.

Remember that once an email is sent, it's out of your control, and there's no guarantee that you can recover or retract it. Always double-check your emails before sending them to avoid any potential issues!
