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)

  1. Go to the "Sent Items" folder in Outlook.
  2. Find the email you want to revert back to a previous version of.
  3. Right-click on the email and select "Undo Send" from the context menu.
  4. If the "Undo Send" feature is available, you'll see a prompt asking if you're sure you want to undo the send. Click "Yes" to revert the email.

Method 2: Using the "Recover Deleted Items" feature

  1. Go to the "Deleted Items" folder in Outlook.
  2. Find the email you want to revert back to a previous version of.
  3. Right-click on the email and select "Recover Deleted Items" from the context menu.
  4. Outlook will restore the email to its original location (e.g., the "Inbox" or "Sent Items" folder).
  5. 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

  1. Go to the email you want to revert back to a previous version of.
  2. Right-click on the email and select "Properties" from the context menu.

  4. You'll see a list of previous versions of the email. Select the version you want to revert back to.
  5. Click "OK" to apply the changes.

Method 4: Using the "Outlook Recovery" feature (for Outlook 2010 and later)

  1. Go to the "File" menu and select "Open & Export" > "Recover Deleted Items from Server".
  2. Follow the prompts to recover deleted items from the server.
  3. Once the recovery is complete, you can find the recovered email in the "Deleted Items" folder.
  4. 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.
