Outlook - Recall or replace an e-mail you sent Video
In this video, you will learn how to recall or replace an email you have sent using Microsoft 365. The video covers the steps to retrieve a message and delete it from the recipients' message list if they haven't read it yet.
You can also replace the message if you forgot to include an attachment.
This feature is available under certain conditions, such as the recipient having an Exchange account in the same organization and not having received or opened the message.
To recall a message, open it in a new window by double-clicking on it in the Sent items folder.
Then, go to the Actions tab in the ribbon and click on "Recall This Message." In the window that appears, choose to delete unread copies of the message or delete unread copies and replace with a new message.
Finally, send the replacement message and check the box to see if the recall was successful or not for each recipient.
This tutorial will help you effectively manage your sent emails and avoid any mistakes or regrets.

Introduction
In today's fast-paced communication environment, it's common to send messages that we later regret or realize contain errors. Fortunately, many email applications offer a message recall feature that allows users to retrieve and delete messages that have not yet been read by the recipient. This guide will walk you through the process of recalling a message, the conditions that must be met for the recall to be successful, and what to expect after attempting a recall. -
Conditions for Message Recall
Before attempting to recall a message, ensure the following conditions are met: - The recipient must have an Exchange account within the same organization. - The recipient must not have received or opened the message. -
Steps to Recall a Message
To successfully recall a message, follow these steps: 1. Navigate to your Sent Items folder and locate the message you wish to recall. 2. Double-click on the message to open it in a new window. Note that simply selecting the message in the reading pane will not allow you to access the recall option. 3. In the open mail ribbon, select 'Actions'. 4. Click on 'Recall This Message'. 5. A new window will appear. Choose one of the following options: - 'Delete unread copies of this message'. - 'Delete unread copies and replace with a new message'. 6. Click 'OK' to confirm your choice. 7. If you opted to send a replacement message, compose it and send it as usual. -
Checking Recall Status
After initiating the recall, it is important to verify whether the operation was successful or failed for each recipient. You will receive a notification message indicating the result of the recall attempt. This feedback will help you understand if the message was successfully deleted or if the recipient has already read it. -
Conclusion
Recalling a message can be a valuable tool in managing email communications effectively. By understanding the conditions and following the outlined steps, you can minimize the impact of sending unintended messages. Always remember to check the status of your recall to ensure that your communication remains clear and professional.
