How to fetch a wrongly sent mail
The frustration of sending an email only to realize it was sent to the wrong person!
Don't worry, there are a few ways to try and recover a wrongly sent email:
Method 1: Check your email provider's "Sent" folder
- Log in to your email account on your computer or mobile device.
- Go to your "Sent" folder (it might be labeled as "Sent Items" or "Sent Mail").
- Look for the email you sent to the wrong person. If you're lucky, it might still be in your Sent folder.
Method 2: Use your email provider's "Recall" or "Resend" feature
- Check if your email provider offers a "Recall" or "Resend" feature. This feature allows you to recall or resend an email that was sent to the wrong person.
- If your provider offers this feature, follow the instructions to recall or resend the email.
Method 3: Contact the recipient directly
- If the email was sent to someone you know, you can try contacting them directly and asking them to delete the email.
- You can also apologize for the mistake and ask them to confirm that they received the email.
Method 4: Use a third-party email recovery service
- There are several third-party services that offer email recovery tools. These services can help you recover emails that have been sent to the wrong person.
- Some popular email recovery services include:
- Email Recovery (emailrecovery.com)
- Recover My Email (recovermyemail.com)
- Email Recovery Tool (emailrecoverytool.com)
Method 5: Use a browser extension or add-on
- There are several browser extensions and add-ons available that can help you recover wrongly sent emails.
- Some popular browser extensions include:
- Email Recovery (Chrome extension)
- Recover Sent Email (Firefox add-on)
Important notes:
- Not all email providers offer recall or resend features, so you might not be able to recover the email.
- Even if you're able to recover the email, there's no guarantee that the recipient won't have already read or deleted the email.
- Always double-check the recipient's email address before sending an email to avoid sending it to the wrong person in the first place!
I hope these methods help you recover your wrongly sent email!
