I wanted to know whether there was a way that you can recall an email you have sent using Microsoft Outlook.
 
Hello,<br><br>Yes you can. . <br><br>That said there are a few things to be aware of:<br>1. You cannot recall a message if the other person has already opened it.<br>2. Sometimes even if you are successful there may be a new message in the other persons Inbox saying &quot;CST wishes to recall this message&quot; So you better have a good excuse ready.<br>3. This feature only works on Email messages on your LAN, NOT on ISP mail.<br><br>To recall a message:<br>1. Go to the &quot;Sent&quot; folder<br>2. Open the Email you want to recall<br>3. Click on &quot;Actions&quot; then click on &quot;Recall this Message&quot;<br><br>Good Luck,<br>Michael
 
To expand on #1 in Storyteller's list:&nbsp;&nbsp;If a person has their Inbox set to auto-preview and their Outlook is running the messages has been &quot;opened&quot; automatically.&nbsp;&nbsp;Outlook has to do this to get the first 3 lines.&nbsp;&nbsp;The recall message will be there as a secon message and if the recipient opens it first the recalled mesage will be deleted, however, if they open the message first they will be able to read it. <p> Jeff<br><a href=mailto: masterracker@hotmail.com> masterracker@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> Of all the things I've lost in life, I miss my mind the most ...
