To check if an email is recalled in Outlook, you can follow these steps:

Method 1: Check the email's status

  1. Open Outlook and go to the folder where the email is located (e.g., Inbox, Sent Items, etc.).
  2. Select the email you want to check.
  3. Right-click on the email and select "Properties" (or press Ctrl+Shift+F).
  4. In the "Properties" window, click on the "Internet Headers" tab.
  5. Look for the "X-MS-Has-Attachments" header. If the email was recalled, this header will be present and will indicate that the email was recalled.

Method 2: Check the email's message body

  1. Open Outlook and go to the folder where the email is located.
  2. Select the email you want to check.
  3. Open the email by double-clicking on it.
  4. Look for a message at the top of the email body that says "This message was recalled" or "This message was deleted". If you see this message, it means the email was recalled.

Method 3: Use the "Recall" feature

  1. Open Outlook and go to the folder where the email is located.
  2. Select the email you want to check.
  3. Right-click on the email and select "Recall This Message" (or press Ctrl+Shift+R).
  4. If the email was already recalled, you will see a message indicating that the recall was successful.

Note: The recall feature only works if the recipient's email client supports it, and if the email was sent using a Microsoft Exchange server. Additionally, the recall feature may not work if the recipient has already read the email or if the email is stored on a non-Microsoft Exchange server.
