- 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 confirm.
Method 2: Using the "Message Recall" feature
- Open Outlook 2016 and go to the "Sent Items" folder.
- Find the email you want to recall and double-click on it to open it.
- Click on the "Message" tab in the ribbon.
- Click on the "Recall" button in the "Actions" group.

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 trying to recall an email that was sent to multiple recipients, the feature will only work if all recipients have not yet read the email.
- If you're trying to recall an email that was sent to a large number of recipients, the feature may take some time to complete.
