Message Recall

Recalling Messages

Outlook 2002

You can recall or replace only those messages you sent to recipients who are logged on and using Outlook and who have not read the message or moved the message out of their Inboxes.

If the Folder List is not visible, click the View menu, and then click Folder List.
Click Sent Items.
Open the message you want to recall or replace.
On the Actions menu, click Recall This Message.
To recall the message, click Delete unread copies of this message.
To replace the message with another, click Delete unread copies and replace with a new message, click OK, and then type a new message.
To be notified about the success of the recall or replacement for each recipient, select the Tell me if recall succeeds or fails for each recipient check box.
Note To replace a message, you must send a new one. If you do not send the new item, the original message is still recalled.
