How many times have you done it? You’ve sent an email to someone and realised that either you forgot to attach an important document or you sent it to the wrong person!
Wondering what to do? You can either just recall the original message or recall and replace it. The success or failure of a recall depends on the recipients’ settings in Microsoft Office Outlook.
Follow this procedure:
- From Mail, in the Navigation Pane, click Sent Items.
- Find the message that you want to recall and open it.
- On the Message tab, in the Actions group, click Other Actions, and then click Recall This Message.
- Click Delete unread copies of this message
Or
Click Delete unread copies and replace with a new message. Click OK, and then type a new message and/or include the attachment. Click Send.
You may want to clear the Tell me if recall succeeds or fails for each recipient box, if you are sending the message to a large number of people.
The above does not guarantee that the recall will be successful, however it is worth to try!
