[Gsusangrey]

I need help recalling an email in Outlook. I accidentally sent an email and would like to know if there’s a way to recall it or undo the send. Any suggestions or steps to do this would be appreciated.

Double-clicking the email will open Sent Items. Choose Recall This Message from the Message tab (or Actions/three dots menu). Click OK after selecting to remove unread copies or remove and replace them with new ones.

To‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ recall an email in Outlook, you can open the Sent Items folder, locate the email that you want to recall and double-click it, then navigate to File > Info > Recall This Message, select the option to delete unread copies or replace with a new message, and click confirm; be aware that this function is available only if both the sender and the recipient are using Microsoft Outlook within the same ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌organization.

In Outlook, if you want to recall an email, you should navigate to your Sent Items folder, find the email, and double-click it to open it in a separate window. Then choose File > Info > Message Recall and hit the Recall This Message button. However, the recall feature only works if the message is still unread and has been sent to recipients of the same organization on Microsoft 365 or Exchange.
