To recall an email in Outlook, follow these steps:
- Open Outlook and go to the "Sent Items" folder.
- Locate the email you want to recall.
- Double-click on the email to open it in a new window.
- In the ribbon at the top, click on the "Message" tab.
- In the "Move" group, click on the "Actions" dropdown menu.
- From the dropdown menu, select "Recall This Message."
At this point, you have two options:
a) Delete unread copies of this message: This option will attempt to delete the email from the recipient's inbox before they read it. If the recipient has not opened the email yet, it has a higher chance of being successfully recalled.
b) Delete unread copies and replace with a new message: This option will delete the original email and replace it with a new one. You can make any necessary changes to the new message before sending it out.
Select the desired option and click "OK."
Note that the success of recalling an email depends on various factors, such as the recipient's email server settings and whether they have already read the email. It's always a good practice to double-check your emails before sending to avoid the need for a recall.
