Download now In theory, the latest versions of Microsoft Outlook allows users to recall their emails. In practice, this almost never works because there are a series of requirements that must be met. Long story short, users can recall their emails as long as: If these criteria are not met, the recipient receives a message informing him/her that you want to recall the email. If you’re lucky, they will delete it but unfortunately, recall messages only spark the recipient’s curiosity. In most cases, they will open the email because it’s very hard resisting the temptation. Secondly, most Outlook users are connected to their inbox around the clock and it’s very unlikely that any of your emails remain unread. Another possibility is to set timer to send your email one to five minutes after you hit the Send button, but doing this could cause various bugs. Many Outlook users wish Microsoft would really bring back the recall feature. On previous Outlook versions such as Outlook 97, this feature worked very well and helped users avoid embarrassing situations at work. What’s your take on this situation? Have you ever had an issue with the recall feature? RELATED STORIES YOU NEED TO CHECK OUT:
