To use this function let’s send an email to a recipient as a test and we will then try to recall it. As a consolation prize, you can attempt to send a replacement message instead. Open Microsoft Email and Go to the Sent Folder, located in the left panel. The message will ask you to choose among the two options Delete unread copies of this message or Delete unread copies and replace with a new message. Then go to Actions drop-down and choose the Recall button. If you have another way to get in touch with the recipient, see if they have a new email address. Choose the sent email and double-click it to open it. Try this fix: Check the recipients email address for typos. This could be because the recipients address has changed or the recipients email account has moved. If they have already opened the email message then you’re out of luck. If you receive one of these messages, the address you used doesnt exist. As mentioned, if the recipient already opened your email, you wont be able to retract it. The message recall feature attempts to retrieve the email from the mailbox of the recipient(s) who have not yet opened it. In a few seconds, Outlook will send you a message on whether the recall was a success or a failure. If you are emailing someone using Gmail or any other email platform, which is NOT Microsoft 365 or Microsoft Exchange, then sadly I have to say this won’t work and that email will be delivered to the recipient regardless of your efforts to stop it, that includes yelling at the computer (we’ve all tried it). Although you can't recall a message once it's been sent, when you turn on the undo send option, delays sending the message so you can cancel it if you change your mind. See Recall or replace an email message that you sent for instructions. The biggest one is that both yourself AND the recipient have to be using a Microsoft 365 or Microsoft Exchange email account. Message recall is available in Outlook for Windows. The Recall This Message dialog box will appear: You can choose between two options here: Delete unread copies of the message, or Delete unread copies and replace with a new message.
From the Ribbon, click the Actions button and choose Recall This Message. There are some constraints when trying to recall email using Outlook. Double click and open the email message you have just sent. The recall email option in Outlook will advise the recipient that you are trying to recall the message – so they will know that something has been sent to them, and can even still read the message before the recall process occurs. It is important to understand that this will not avoid the uncomfortable situation where you send an email to the incorrect person containing information they should not see or read. This feature has been around for a long time now (showing my age) but either people do not know about it or do not understand the functionality. There is however a way in which you can recall email using Outlook.
There comes a time when inevitably we send an email which was either to the wrong person OR was sent before we actually finished writing it.
