If you are a Gmail user, you can also recall emails.

Note: Sending a recall does not make your old email disappear. Let's talk more about the section below. However, to make the original message disappear, the recipient may need to open the recall message first. That's why it's a good idea to put "URGENT" or something similar in the subject of a recall message so that it opens before other emails.
Why email recall doesn't always work
Starting the recall process does not mean that it works as intended. Due to the current internet speed (unless you live in a dead area), it's likely that invalid email is already waiting in someone's inbox, and you'll have a number of issues. Here are the factors that can invalidate the recall:
- Open message: By default, when a recipient opens an email, the email cannot be retrieved. The recipient can still see that they have received the recall message and wanted to delete the first email, but they remain in the Outlook system anyway. All bets will be removed when this email opens. This is one of the reasons why it's important to act fast.
- Redirect to another folder: The recall will fail if the first message activates the filter and is routed back to a folder other than the Inbox. In conclusion, the Recall option can only affect emails left in your inbox. If the first message is waiting elsewhere, it will not disappear.
- Public folder: Public folders can complicate matters because the recall fails when someone reads the first email. It doesn't matter which recipient or login account you've tagged as an email read, but it's still late.
- Additional Email App: Recall feature is designed to work in Outlook. For example, the recall option may not work if you send it to someone using Gmail.
- Mobile app: If you use the Exchange ActiveSync settings for Outlook on your mobile device, the calling option may not work. When the system is synchronized, the system tries to juggle different versions of Outlook, especially if the mobile device is offline, the process cannot be completed.
This handy little feature seems to have a lot of pitfalls. Solution for this potential snafus? If the recall doesn't work, there are two ideas for improving the scenario.
Solution 1: Write an apple. Besides checking it again before sending email, this is the simplest solution to this problem. If you accidentally emailed the wrong person / person and it's not too bad, it's a good idea to save time and write a quick “Sorry” apple note. This works for most people and you don't have to worry about it.
Solution 2: Delay your email. If you have an example of an email butterfind or are always busy with responding and delivering more sensitive types of information, you can consider email delays. You can do this for any email by going to fileSelect Rules and alerts management, And optional New rules. Starting from Empty ruleThe condition is skipped to apply to all emails. Then in step 1 Delayed delivery every few minutes. Delaying a few minutes will bring up the message much more effectively when there is a mistake.
If this entire process corrupts your Outlook e-mail client, you can use a one-time address at any time.
