How to delete sent mail from receiver's inbox outlook
Unfortunately, it's not possible to directly delete sent emails from the receiver's inbox in Outlook. The receiver has control over their own inbox and can decide what emails to keep or delete.
However, there are a few scenarios where you might want to "delete" a sent email from the receiver's inbox:
- Requesting the receiver to delete: You can send a follow-up email to the receiver and politely ask them to delete the email from their inbox. This is the most straightforward approach.
- Using Outlook's "Move to Folder" feature: If you have permission to access the receiver's mailbox (e.g., you're an administrator or have been granted access), you can use Outlook's "Move to Folder" feature to move the email to a different folder. This won't delete the email, but it will move it out of the inbox. To do this:
- Open the receiver's mailbox in Outlook.
- Find the email you want to move.
- Right-click on the email and select "Move to Folder".
- Choose a folder where you want to move the email (e.g., a "Deleted Items" or "Archived" folder).
- Using PowerShell or VBA scripting: If you have advanced technical skills and permission to access the receiver's mailbox, you can use PowerShell or VBA scripting to automate the deletion of emails. This is an advanced topic and requires careful consideration to avoid unintended consequences.
Please note that deleting emails from someone else's inbox without their permission is generally considered a privacy violation and may be against company policies or laws. Always respect the receiver's control over their own inbox and communicate with them to resolve any issues.
