Recall or replace a message on Ms Outlook Email

You can recall your message when you use Microsoft outlook to cancel your sent email using recall message, but this feature requires you to be using a Microsoft Exchange Server e-mail account. If you use pop mail this feature will not work.

You can recall or replace a message only if its recipient is logged on and using Microsoft Outlook and has not read the message or moved it from their Inbox.
  1. In Mail, in the Navigation Pane, click Sent Items.
  2. Open the message you want to recall or replace.
  3. On the Actions menu, click Recall This Message.
  4. Do one of the following:
Recall the message
  1. Click Delete unread copies of this message.
  2. To be notified about the success of the recall or replacement for each recipient, select the Tell me if recall succeeds or fails for each recipient check box.
Replace the message
  1. Click Delete unread copies and replace with a new message.
  2. To be notified about the success of the recall or replacement for each recipient, select the Tell me if recall succeeds or fails for each recipient check box.
  3. Click OK, and then type a new message.
Note: To replace a message, you must send a new one. If you do not send the new item, the original message is still recalled.
