How to Use Microsoft Outlook to Recall Emails Which are Accidentally Sent – Part 2

You can actually recall your sent message if it has not been read yet. Most of the time, the recipients will not realize that you have sent any message. In older versions of Outlook, your recalled message still can be read by the recipient, but another message informing that you are recalling your previous message is also sent to the recipient. This is actually effective if the message you recall contains simply wrong information. The recipient will just simply ignore the content of your first message knowing that it is wrong. However, if the message contains confidential information which the recipient should not know, then the recalling message will definitely be useless.

You can recall your sent message by entering Sent Items folder. Open your email and click Actions on the menu bar. Select Recall This Message and choose the unread email you want to recall. If your email was sent to many recipients, then you can choose to whom you want to recall your email. You can also replace your deleted unread email with the new one you already edited.

How to Use Microsoft Outlook to Recall Emails Which are Accidentally Sent – Part 1

How many times have you typed wrong the addresses or information in your Microsoft Outlook email and just realized it right after you press the send button? I guess all of us have at least done it once. Sometimes we are such in a hurry that we cannot check things we typed and the email addresses we put. But then, we realize that something is wrong one moment after we hit the send button. Is there any way that we can get our message back and then send the right email to the right addresses? The answer is “Yes, you can.”

As long as the message is still in your outbox folder, you can stop the process by deleting the message from the queue. The time interval since the moment you click the send button to the time your message is actually sent is determined in the Outlook settings. If you are using your office computer, you may not be able to change these settings since it is set by the company you work for. However, if you are working by yourself at home and have the permissions to change it, then you can do these steps to change the settings.
