Outlook recall email 2010
The joys of email recall!
In Outlook 2010, you can recall an email that you've already sent to someone. Here's how:
Method 1: Using the "Recall This Message" feature
- Open Outlook 2010 and go to the "Sent Items" folder.
- Find the email you want to recall and right-click on it.
- Select "Recall This Message" from the context menu.
- 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.
- Click "OK" to recall the email.
Method 2: Using the "Workaround" feature
If the "Recall This Message" feature doesn't work for some reason, you can use the "Workaround" feature to recall an email. Here's how:
- Open Outlook 2010 and go to the "Sent Items" folder.
- Find the email you want to recall and right-click on it.
- Select "Workaround" from the context menu.
- In the "Workaround" 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.
- Click "OK" to recall the email.
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 is not configured to support recall.
- The feature may not work if the recipient has already deleted the email or has moved it to a different folder.
- The feature may not work if the email was sent to multiple recipients and one or more of them have already read the email.
