How To Recall Email From Outlook

Have you ever regretted sending an email immediately after sending it and wished you could reclaim it from the ether before it reached your recipients? We’ve all done it. The good news is that you can.

Outlook allows you to unsend an email for a limited time, but you must have the feature enabled first. Once enabled, “Undo Send” will provide you with a brief window during which you can successfully retract your message before it reaches its final destination. The “Undo Send” feature does not recover your email from other people’s inboxes; instead, it simply delays sending your email, giving you the opportunity to change your mind before it’s too late.

In order to recall an email in Outlook, both the sender and the recipient must be Outlook email client users on an Exchange server, among other requirements. As a result, if you aren’t both using Outlook, the feature is inoperable.
