How do I get a sent message back before recepient reads it 1

[MrMode]

I am using Outlook 2000 and have sent an email but want to delete that email before the recepient reads it, how do I recall an email and delete it from their server before they read it? The message was sent to a hotmail account?

Unfortunately you cannot do this because the recipient was a Hotmail user. The reason for this is that the message recall facility within Outlook only works if the following conditions are true:

1) You are using Outlook and send through an Exchange Server.
2) The recipient is using Outlook and an Exchange Server account.

For example, even if the recipient uses Outlook but has a POP3 account, recall will not work.

Hope this information is of use.

Thanks for this, I thought that may be the case. More haste, less speed seems appropriate here!

No problem, sorry the answer wasn't more positive!!
