Email recall in outlook 2013
The joys of email recall in Outlook 2013!
Email recall, also known as "Resend and Recall," is a feature in Outlook that allows you to recall or retract an email that has already been sent. Here's how to do it:
Prerequisites:
- Your organization's email system must support email recall. Check with your IT department or email administrator to confirm.
- The recipient's email system must also support email recall.
Steps to recall an email in Outlook 2013:
- Open Outlook 2013 and navigate to the "Sent Items" folder.
- Find the email you want to recall and right-click on it.
- Select "Recall This Message" from the context menu.
- In the "Recall This Message" dialog box, select one of the following options:
- "Delete unread copies of this message" - This option will delete the email from the recipient's inbox, but not from their "Sent Items" folder.
- "Delete unread copies and replace with a new message" - This option will delete the email from the recipient's inbox and replace it with a new message.
- Click "OK" to confirm the recall.
Important notes:
- Email recall is not foolproof and may not always work. The recipient may have already read the email, or their email system may not support recall.
- If you choose to delete the email from the recipient's inbox, it will be deleted permanently and cannot be recovered.
- If you choose to replace the email with a new message, the new message will be sent to the recipient, but the original email will still be in their "Sent Items" folder.
Troubleshooting tips:
- If the recall fails, try sending a new email to the recipient with a polite request to disregard the original email.
- If the recipient has already read the email, it may not be possible to recall it.
- Check with your IT department or email administrator if you encounter any issues with email recall.
