How many times have you sent out a messages through Outlook only to regret hitting the "SEND" button? In the past, I had many regrets but have figured out that all is not lost when you get to know the email client program you are using on an intimate basis. Yes, knowing what your program is capable of doing and how to save your butt from sending out those regrettable emails.
Well, now is the time to get personal with MS Outlook 2007. It has a feature that will allow you to recall messages sent out as long as the recipient hasn't opened the message. If the recipient has, it will give a message recall notification.
- Open the "SENT" message
- Select Actions
- Select Other Actions
- Select Recall Message
- Select from the two options
- Delete all unread copies of the message, or
- Delete unread copies and replace with a new message
- Check the box to notify you of all success and failures
That's it, very easy to do. If it is too late, the best thing to do is send out a retraction email to cancel out the previous email.
