Retract email outlook

To retract an email in Outlook, you can use the "Recall This Message" feature. Here's how:

Method 1: Recall an email from the Sent Items folder

1. Open Outlook and go to the Sent Items folder.
2. Find the email you want to retract 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 click "OK".

Method 2: Recall an email from the Inbox

1. Open Outlook and go to the Inbox folder.
2. Find the email you want to retract 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 click "OK".

Note: The "Recall This Message" feature only works if the recipient has not yet read the email. If the recipient has already read the email, you won't be able to retract it.

Additional tips:

• If you're using Outlook 2010 or later, you can also use the "Quick Steps" feature to recall an email. To do this, go to the "Home" tab, click on the "Quick Steps" button, and select "Recall This Message".
• If you're using Outlook 2007 or earlier, you can use the "Work Offline" feature to recall an email. To do this, go to the "File" menu, select "Work Offline", and then right-click on the email and select "Recall This Message".
• Keep in mind that retracting an email is not foolproof, and there's always a chance that the recipient may have already read or saved the email before you retract it.
