How to cancel sending mail in outlook
To cancel sending an email in Outlook, you can follow these steps:
Method 1: Cancel sending an email before it's sent
- If you haven't clicked the "Send" button yet, you can cancel the sending process by clicking the "Cancel" button in the "Send" dialog box.
- Alternatively, you can click the "X" button in the top-right corner of the "Send" dialog box to cancel the sending process.
Method 2: Cancel sending an email after it's been sent
- If you've already clicked the "Send" button, you can try to recall the email by following these steps:
- Go to the "Sent Items" folder in your Outlook mailbox.
- 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 the option to "Delete unread copies of this message" and click "OK".
- Note that recalling an email is not always possible, especially if the recipient has already read the email or if the email has been forwarded to others.
Method 3: Cancel sending an email using the "Outlook" button
- If you're using Outlook 2013 or later, you can cancel sending an email by clicking the "Outlook" button in the top-left corner of the screen.
- Clicking the "Outlook" button will open the "Outlook" window, where you can cancel the sending process by clicking the "Cancel" button.
Additional tips
- If you're using Outlook Web App (OWA), you can cancel sending an email by clicking the "Cancel" button in the "Send" dialog box.
- If you're using Outlook on a mobile device, you may need to check the app's settings to see if there's an option to cancel sending an email.
