How to recall sent email in Outlook 2010

We have been in situations wherein we accidentally sent email via MS Outlook 2010 that still needs to be reviewed or edited and we want to have them recalled to avoid humiliation or scolding from the boss. There’s a way to recall them from Microsoft Outlook 2010 provided that the particular email still hasn’t been read by any of the intended recipients. I was lucky enough to be taught by our company’s local Tech Support guys and here are the steps:

1. Open MS Outlook 2010 and go to your Sent Items folder.

2. Look for the email you want to recall & open it by double-clicking.

3. On the Message Tab, click on Actions then select Recall This Message.

4. A pop-up window would appear to let you choose from given options on what particular action you wanted. Just to make sure, tick the box Tell me if recall succeeds or fails for each recipient so you’d know the people you were able to recall the messages from & who you need to apologize to (if needed) for the wrong email.

That’s it, hopefully this would be useful to you as it was to me.
