How to recall an email in outlook

To recall an email in Outlook, you can follow these steps:

Open Outlook and go to the "Sent Items" folder.

Double-click on the email message you want to recall to open it in a new window.

In the ribbon at the top, click on the "Actions" tab.

In the "Actions" tab, click on the "Recall This Message" option. A drop-down menu will appear.

From the drop-down menu, you have two options:

"Delete unread copies of this message": This option will attempt to delete the email from the recipient's inbox before they read it.

"Delete unread copies and replace with a new message": This option will delete the original email and replace it with a new message that you can edit and send.

Select the appropriate option based on your preference.

If you chose the second option, a new message window will open with the original email content. Make any necessary changes and click "Send" to send the updated message.

If you chose the first option, the recall process will start, and Outlook will attempt to delete the email from the recipient's inbox.

Please note that the success of email recall depends on various factors, such as the recipient's email settings and whether they have already read the email. If the recipient has already read the email or if they have certain email client configurations, the recall may not be successful. It's always a good idea to double-check your emails before sending them to avoid the need for recalls.

 

How to schedule an email in outlook

 

To schedule an email in Outlook, you can use the "Delay Delivery" feature. Here's how you can schedule an email:

Open Outlook and compose a new email by clicking on the "New Email" button or pressing Ctrl + Shift + M on your keyboard.

Compose your email as you normally would, including the recipients, subject, and message content.

Before sending the email, go to the "Options" tab in the email composition window.

In the "More Options" group, click on the "Delay Delivery" button. This will open the Message Options window.

In the Message Options window, check the box that says "Do not deliver before" and select the date and time when you want the email to be sent.

Click "Close" to close the Message Options window.

Now, instead of clicking the "Send" button, click on the "Close" button in the email composition window to close the email. Outlook will save the email in your "Drafts" folder with the scheduled delivery time.

The email will be sent automatically at the scheduled time.

You can find the email in your "Drafts" folder until it is sent. If you need to make any changes or cancel the scheduled delivery, you can open the email from the "Drafts" folder, make the necessary edits, and reschedule or delete the delay delivery setting.

It's important to keep in mind that your computer needs to be turned on and Outlook should be running at the scheduled delivery time for the email to be sent. If your computer is turned off or Outlook is not running, the email will be sent the next time you open Outlook.
