How to recall email on mac mail
To recall an email on a Mac using Mail, follow these steps:
Method 1: Using the "Undo Send" feature
- Open Mail on your Mac.
- Go to the "Mail" menu and select "Undo Send" (or use the keyboard shortcut Command + Z).
- If the "Undo Send" feature is available, you'll see a confirmation dialog box. Click "Undo" to recall the email.
Method 2: Using the "Edit" menu
- Open Mail on your Mac.
- Select the email you want to recall from the list of emails.
- Go to the "Edit" menu and select "Delete" (or use the keyboard shortcut Command + Delete).
- In the "Delete" dialog box, select "Move to Trash" and then click "Delete" to move the email to the Trash folder.
- Empty the Trash folder by going to the "Mail" menu, selecting "Empty Trash" (or use the keyboard shortcut Command + Shift + Delete).
Method 3: Using the "Trash" folder
- Open Mail on your Mac.
- Go to the "Trash" folder (located in the sidebar or by pressing Command + Shift + Delete).
- Select the email you want to recall from the list of emails in the Trash folder.
- Right-click (or control-click) on the selected email and select "Move to" > "Inbox" to move it back to your inbox.
Important notes:
- The "Undo Send" feature only works if you haven't sent the email yet. If you've already sent the email, you won't be able to recall it using this method.
- If you've sent the email to multiple recipients, you won't be able to recall it using these methods. The email will still be delivered to the recipients' inboxes.
- If you're using a third-party email service (e.g., Gmail, Outlook), the recall process may vary or not be available at all.
