How to take back mail in outlook

In Outlook, you can take back or "retract" an email that you've sent by using the "Recall This Message" feature. Here's how:

Method 1: Using the "Recall This Message" feature

1. Open Outlook and go to the "Sent Items" folder.
2. Find the email you want to recall and right-click on it.
3. Select "Recall This Message" from the context menu.
4. In the "Recall This Message" dialog box, select the option "Delete unread copies of this message" and choose whether you want to delete the message from the recipient's mailbox or just from your own Sent Items folder.
5. Click "OK" to confirm.

Method 2: Using the "Message Recall" feature in Outlook Web App

1. Log in to Outlook Web App and go to the "Sent Items" folder.
2. Find the email you want to recall and click on the three dots next to it.
3. Select "Message Recall" from the dropdown menu.
4. In the "Recall This Message" dialog box, select the option "Delete unread copies of this message" and choose whether you want to delete the message from the recipient's mailbox or just from your own Sent Items folder.
5. Click "OK" to confirm.

Important notes:

• The "Recall This Message" feature only works if the recipient has not yet read the email.
• The feature may not work if the recipient's email client or server does not support it.
• If you're using a POP3 account, you may need to use a third-party add-in or plugin to recall emails.
• Be aware that recalling an email may not always be successful, and the recipient may still receive the email.
