has it already left the outbox? if not, you can go offline and delete it but
if it left the outbox, it's too late.

Once it's sent, it's sent. You can try to recall the mail, but this may NOT
work (especially if you're not in an Exchange environment, this is usually in
a business). Open the sent email, click on Actions, then Recall this Message.
Good Luck - remember though that this isn't guaranteed to work.

Open the message in your Sent folder. Choose Actions | Recall this message.

I only have Outlook 2003 to look at, but I believe the menus are the same
for this.

Also, not sure, but I believe you have to be using an Exchange server for
this to work. Even then, if anyone has already opened it, they will have
it.

Sort of like putting the cart before the horse really. There are Mail
providers that offer such a thing but that is not a function in Outlook.
That depends on your SMTP provider not your mail client.

It WILL NOT work unless you use Exchange server and the recipient is on the
same Exchange server and has not opened the message yet. You probably have
like A 10% chance of successfully recalling it if you meet all the
conditions.

If you don't meet the first two conditions, don't even bother attempting to
recall - a recall message in an inbox is worse than the original message,
errors or not, because it immediately tells the recipient to pay more
attention to the original message because you don't want them to see it.
It's better to just send a corrected message and apologize for the errors in
the original.

Thanks, I realize that there is no way to stop the mail if it went out the
server, wich was the case.

Do you know how to recall an e-mail via outlook express

 

[Roady [MVP]]

Not possible.

Note that this is an Microsoft Office Outlook forum.

Outlook Express is family of Internet Explorer and Outlook of the Office
family.

Here is the link for the right forum

Good Luck!
