Clicked The Send Button Too Soon?

At some point we have all likely written an email and wished we had not been so hasty in pressing the Send button. And then there are those of us who pressed the Send button only to realize we inadvertently sent the message to the wrong person. These are times when we wish we could run over to the recipient’s computer and delete the message before they have a chance to see it.

If you use Outlook, you don’t have to go to quite those extremes and you can use the Recall feature instead. The caveat to using this feature is that you must be using a Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 or later email account. The recipient of the mail you want to recall must also be using an Exchange server email account.

To recall a message in Outlook 2002:

1. Click the Sent message folder.
2. Open the message you want to recall.
3. From the Actions menu, click Recall this message.
4. Click OK.

You can also take this one step further by recalling the original message and replacing it with another one. This is useful if you send a message with the incorrect attachment and want to replace it with the correct one. To recall and replace, complete steps 1 through 3 as described above. When the Recall this message dialog box appears, click the Delete unread copies and replace with a new message and click OK. Type in the new message and click Send.
