Oops! Wait! Come Back!
We’ve all done it: “Please see attached form” with nothing
attached to the email, or we’ve noticed we’ve selected the wrong recipient
right after the email was sent. Did you know that you can undo that pesky typo
by recalling the email? It’s easy in Outlook 2016.
All you need to do is open the email you wish to retrieve
and select Actions, which appears in
the right hand corner of Move on the
ribbon.
After that the Recall this Message box will appear. You’ll
get two options, Delete unread copies of this message, or Delete unread copies
and replace with new message. Pick whichever seems most suitable to your
situation. Below is a checkbox which will allow you to be notified when the
email is successfully retrieved.
The important thing to remember is to act fast. Email can
only be recalled before it has been read. It also has to be an emporia.edu
email who received the message. Once it
is outside of the Emporia.edu domain, it cannot be recalled.

subjects be sure to check our IT Training on MyIT. A full Training Calendar is available with courses in
