How to revert back mail in outlook
Reverting back to a previous version of an email in Outlook can be a bit tricky, but it's doable. Here are the steps:
Method 1: Using the "Undo Send" feature (if available)
- Go to the "Sent Items" folder in Outlook.
- Find the email you want to revert back to a previous version of.
- Right-click on the email and select "Undo Send" from the context menu.

- Go to the "Deleted Items" folder in Outlook.
- Find the email you want to revert back to a previous version of.
- Right-click on the email and select "Recover Deleted Items" from the context menu.
- Outlook will restore the email to its original location (e.g., the "Inbox" or "Sent Items" folder).
- If you want to revert the email to a previous version, you can use the "Properties" window to access the email's version history.
Method 3: Using the "Properties" window

Method 4: Using the "Outlook Recovery" feature (for Outlook 2010 and later)
- Go to the "File" menu and select "Open & Export" > "Recover Deleted Items from Server".
- Follow the prompts to recover deleted items from the server.
- Once the recovery is complete, you can find the recovered email in the "Deleted Items" folder.
- Right-click on the email and select "Properties" to access the email's version history.
Remember to always be cautious when reverting back to a previous version of an email, as it may overwrite any changes you made to the email since the previous version.
