Outlook 2017 mail recall

The infamous "Recall" feature in Outlook!

In Outlook 2017, you can recall a sent email using the "Recall This Message" feature. Here's how:

Prerequisites:

1. The recipient's mailbox must be online and connected to the Exchange server.
2. The email must be sent using an Exchange account (not a POP3 or IMAP account).
3. The email must be sent within a certain time frame (usually 30 minutes).

Steps to recall a sent email in Outlook 2017:

1. Open Outlook 2017 and navigate 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 reason for recalling the email (e.g., "The message was sent in error").
5. Choose whether you want to replace the original email with a new one or delete it entirely.
6. Click "OK" to initiate the recall process.

Important notes:

• The recall feature only works if the recipient's mailbox is online and connected to the Exchange server.
• The recall feature may not work if the recipient has already read the email or has deleted it from their mailbox.
• The recall feature may not work if the email has been forwarded or replied to by the recipient.
• The recall feature may not work if the email was sent using a POP3 or IMAP account.

Troubleshooting tips:

• If the recall feature doesn't work, try restarting Outlook or checking the email account settings.
• If the recall feature still doesn't work, you may need to contact your Exchange administrator or IT department for assistance.
