How to recall a mail from new o365
In Microsoft 365 (O365), you can recall a sent email using the "Recall This Message" feature. Here's how:
Prerequisites:
- The recipient's mailbox must be in the same organization as the sender.
- The email must be in the "Sent Items" folder.
- The recipient's mailbox must not have been deleted or moved to a different location.
Steps to recall a sent email:
- Log in to your Microsoft 365 account and go to the "Sent Items" folder.
- Find the email you want to recall and select it.
- Click the "More" menu (three dots) and select "Recall This Message".
- In the "Recall This Message" window, select the reason for recalling the email (e.g., "The message was sent in error").
- Choose whether you want to "Delete unread copies of this message" or "Delete the entire message".
- Click "OK" to confirm the recall.
Important notes:
- The recall feature only works if the recipient has not yet opened the email.
- If the recipient has already opened the email, the recall will not work.
- The recall feature only works for emails sent within the same organization.
- The recipient may still have a copy of the email in their "Junk Email" folder or "Deleted Items" folder, depending on their email client settings.
- If you're trying to recall an email sent to an external recipient (outside your organization), you won't be able to recall it using this method.
Alternative method:
If the "Recall This Message" feature doesn't work, you can try using the "Message Recall" feature in Outlook. Here's how:
- Open Outlook and go to the "Sent Items" folder.
- Find the email you want to recall and right-click on it.
- Select "Message" > "Recall This Message".
- Follow the prompts to confirm the recall.
Remember that the recall feature is not foolproof, and there's no guarantee that the recipient won't still have a copy of the email.
