Outlook 2019 recall email sent
A recall email in Outlook 2019!
When you send a recall email in Outlook 2019, it's also known as "Resend and Recall" or "Recall This Message". Here's how it works:
Prerequisites:
- The recipient's mailbox must be online and connected to the Exchange server.
- The recall feature is only available for messages sent to recipients within the same organization (i.e., within the same Exchange server).
Steps to recall an email in Outlook 2019:
- Open the email you want to recall in Outlook 2019.
- Click the "Message" tab in the ribbon.
- Click the "Recall This Message" button in the "Actions" group.
- In the "Recall This Message" dialog box, select one of the following options:
- "Delete unread copies of this message" (default): This option will delete the email from the recipient's mailbox if they haven't read it yet.
- "Delete unread copies and replace with a new message" (advanced): This option will delete the email and replace it with a new message.
- Click "OK" to send the recall request.
What happens after sending a recall email:
- The recall email is sent to the recipient's mailbox, which will either delete the original email or replace it with a new message, depending on the option you chose.
- The recall email is marked as "Recalled" in the recipient's mailbox, indicating that the original email was deleted or replaced.
- If the recipient has already read the original email, the recall email will not be effective, and the original email will remain in their mailbox.
Important notes:
- Recall emails are only effective for messages sent to recipients within the same organization.
- Recall emails are not foolproof and may not always work as intended, especially if the recipient has already read the original email or has a slow internet connection.
- Recall emails are not available for messages sent to external recipients (e.g., outside your organization).
