How to recall a mail from outlook web
To recall a sent email in Outlook Web, follow these steps:
Note: You can only recall an email if the recipient has not yet opened it.
- Log in to your Outlook Web account and go to the "Sent" folder.
- Find the email you want to recall and click on it to open it.
- Click on the three dots (⋯) at the top right corner of the email and select "More actions" from the dropdown menu.
- In the "More actions" menu, click on "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" from the recipient's mailbox.
- Click "OK" to confirm the recall.
Important: If the recipient has already opened the email, you won't be able to recall it. Additionally, if the recipient's email client doesn't support recall, the recall may not be successful.
Additional tips:
- You can also recall an email by using the "Recall" button in the "Message" tab of the email composition window. To do this, open the email composition window, click on the "Message" tab, and then click on the "Recall" button.
- If you're using Outlook Web on a mobile device, you can recall an email by tapping the three dots (⋯) at the top right corner of the email and selecting "Recall this message" from the dropdown menu.
- Recall is only available for emails sent using Outlook Web or Outlook desktop clients. If you sent an email using a different email client, you won't be able to recall it using Outlook Web.
