Important notes:

• The "Recall This Message" feature only works if the recipient has not yet read the email.
• The "Delete Unread Receipt for" feature only works if the recipient has not yet read the email and has not yet sent a read receipt.
• If the recipient has already read the email, you will not be able to recall it.
• If you are using Outlook Web App (OWA), you may not have the "Recall This Message" feature available.

Additional tips:

• To recall an email that has already been read, you can try sending a new email to the recipient with a correction or retraction.
• If you need to recall an email that was sent to multiple recipients, you will need to recall each email individually.
• If you are using Outlook 2010 or later, you can use the "Recall This Message" feature to recall emails that were sent to multiple recipients at once.
