Can you Un-send Emails on Outlook?

How to Un-send Emails on Outlook

Oh no! Did you send that email and it wasn’t 100% ready yet? Or did you send the email to the wrong person? Fear no more! The ability to un-send an email can be a lifesaver if you've made a mistake or changed your mind about sending an email. Outlook has a feature that allows you to recall or un-send an email after it has been sent. Here are the steps to do this:

1. Open Outlook: Open the Outlook application on your computer.

2. Go to Sent Items: Go to the Sent Items folder in your mailbox.

3. Right-click on the email: Right-click on the email that you want to recall or unsend.

4. Select "Recall This Message": Select "Recall This Message" from the drop-down menu.

5. Choose an option: You will be presented with two options: "Delete unread copies of this message" or "Delete unread copies and replace with a new message." Choose the one that best fits your needs.

6. Send the recall message: Click on the "OK" button to send the recall message.

7. Wait for the recall message to be processed: The recall message may take some time to be processed, during which the recipient may still see the email.

8. Check the recall status: You can check the recall status of the message by going to the Sent Items folder and right-clicking on the email. The status will be displayed in the "Recall Status" column.

It's worth noting that this feature may not work if the recipient has already read the email or if the email was sent to an external email address, because the recall message is only effective if the recipient has not yet read the email, and the feature works only on email accounts under the same organization.
