To cancel sending an email, one of two conditions must be met: you must be using Gmail or Microsoft Outlook 2007 or 2010 and have a Microsoft Exchange Server 2000, Exchange Server 2003 or Exchange Server 2007 account. In all other cases, revoke the sent letter is not possible.
Instructions
Step 1
Most free email services do not use Exchange, but if you do have this type of account and use Microsoft Outlook 2007 or 2010 to send email, do the following.
Step 2
In the Mail section of the navigation pane, select the Sent Items folder and open the email you want to revoke. In the Actions group on the Message tab, select the More Actions command first, and then click the Feedback message. Set the value to "Delete unread copies".
Step 3
Indicate whether the letter should be replaced with a new one or deleted. Check the box to receive confirmation if the action you specified is successful.
Step 4
In addition to the attempted recall, you can send a new message to replace the previous one. For example, if you forgot to attach an attachment, try recalling the email and sending a new one with the required attachment. In this case, the original letter will be deleted from the recipient's mailbox, if he has not yet opened it, and a new one will come in return.
Step 5
To do this, in the "Mail" section, select the "Sent Items" folder. Open the letter you want to revoke and replace. In the Actions group, on the Message tab, select More Actions and then Recall Message. Specify the value "Delete unread copies and replace them with new messages."
Step 6
Click OK to save your changes. You can also remove or add attachments you want. Complete the process by clicking the Submit button.
Step 7
If you use Gmail to send and receive e-mail, open your mailbox in your browser and go to the "Settings" section. Open the Lab tab and agree to use experimental features from Gmail.
Step 8
Activate the "Cancel sending mail" function and save the changes. Now, within a few seconds after sending the letter, you can recall your message.
