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!

If you are fed up with moving junk mail to the Junk Folder do the following:
- On the Tools menu, click Options.
- On the Preferences tab click Junk E-mail.
- Select the Permanently delete suspected junk e-mail instead of moving it to the Junk E-mail folder.
Your messages will be deleted immediately, which means you will not be able to restore them.
Fed up receiving junk email? Then, configure the Junk Email Filter!
The Junk Email Filter is designed to catch the most obvious spam and send it to your Junk Email folder.
The Junk Email Filter analyses each incoming message according to several factors, such as the time when the message was sent, the content and structure of the message to evaluate the message on ‘spamness’. The Junk Email Filter is turned on by default, and the protection level is set to Low. This level is designed to catch the most obvious spam. You can increase the level of protection by changing it.
Follow the following steps if you want to reduce the amount of junk email:
- In Microsoft Outlook from the Menu bar, go to Tools and choose Options.
- On the Preferences tab, click Junk Mail.
- Under Options tab select the level of protection:
- High – If you receive a large number of junk email messages, but do not wish to restrict the messages you see to only those from senders on your safe lists, select this option. However, you should periodically review messages moved to the Junk Email folder, because some legitimate messages may be moved there as well.
- Safe Lists Only – If you receive a large number of email messages, you can alternatively select this option, which will cause any email message that is sent neither from someone on your Safe Senders List nor to a mailing list on your Safe Recipients List to be treated as junk.
You finally installed Office 2007 and guess what? You cannot find commands you are used to in the Menu!
It will certainly take a while to adjust to a new Menu. So what you can do to locate where your favourite Office 2003 commands are in the new Office 2007 interface?
Microsoft developed visual, interactive reference guides to help you quickly learn where things are. You can download and install them on your computer.
The only downside to it is that you have to download these guides for each of the Office 2007 Applications.
If you are not sure if it will help it, try an online demonstration from one of those listed at Microsoft Office Online.
