- 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 reason for recalling the message (e.g., "The message was sent in error").
- Choose whether you want to replace the original message with a new one or delete it.
- Click "OK" to recall the message.
Method 2: Recall a sent email from the Inbox
- Open Outlook and go to the Inbox.
- Find the email you want to recall and right-click on it.
- Select "Recall This Message" from the context menu.
