To recall a sent email in Outlook, you can follow these steps:
Method 1: Using the "Recall This Message" feature
- Open Outlook and go 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 the option "Delete unread copies of this message" and choose whether you want to delete the message from the recipient's mailbox or just from your own mailbox.
- Click "OK" to recall the message.
Method 2: Using the "Workaround" feature
- Open Outlook and go to the "Sent Items" folder.
- Find the email you want to recall and right-click on it.
- Select "Move" from the context menu.
- In the "Move" dialog box, select the folder where you want to move the email (e.g. "Deleted Items").
- Click "OK" to move the email to the selected folder.
- Go to the "Deleted Items" folder and right-click on the email.
- Select "Empty "Deleted Items" folder" to permanently delete the email.
Important notes:
- The "Recall This Message" feature only works if the recipient has not yet read the email.
- The feature may not work if the recipient has already read the email or if they have a POP3 email account.
- The feature may not work if the email has been forwarded or replied to by the recipient.
- The feature may not work if the recipient's email client does not support recall.
Additional tips:
- To prevent accidental recalls, you can set up a rule in Outlook to move emails to a specific folder instead of recalling them.
- You can also use third-party add-ins or plugins to enhance the recall feature in Outlook.
- If you need to recall an email that has already been read by the recipient, you may need to use a different method, such as sending a new email to correct the mistake.
