Recall or Recover Deleted Items from MailBox, Outlook
RECALL MESSAGES FROM MAILBOX
There are times when we send an e-mail and immediately realize that it contains an error or is missing important information. You wish you could go back in time and fix it, but it’s too late; the message has been sent. Fortunately, Outlook includes a recall feature that allows for a “do over” in the real world.
1. To recall a sent message, begin by locating the message in your sent items folder. 4. Open the e-mail message.
2. From the “Actions” dropdown list in the main menu, select “Recall This Message…”
3. Once selected, the Recall This Message dialog box will appear. It contains three options.
I. Delete unread copies of this message – This option will delete all sent copies of the message that have not been opened.
II. Delete unread copies and replace with a new message – In cases where only an error needs to be corrected, or slight information added, this option will first delete the original sent message, and then it will send a replacement message.
III. Tell me if recall succeeds or fails for each recipient – If checked, the user will receive e-mail confirmation if each individual message was successfully recalled or not.
Note: A read message cannot be recalled.
4. Press “OK” to initiate the recall.
RECOVER DELETED ITEMS FROM MAILBOX
How many times have we deleted an e-mail message and then wished we hadn’t or needed it later? Now it’s okay, because deleted items aren’t really gone forever; they can be recovered.
1. To recover deleted items, begin with the Deleted Items folder open.
2. With the folder open, select “Tools” from the main menu and then “Recover Deleted Items…”
3. A new dialog box will appear.
4. Use the tool buttons in the upper left to perform actions:
“Select All” – This button selects all of the deleted items in the list.
“Recover Selected Items” – To Recover Selected Items press this button.
The delete button will Purge Selected Items, meaning that they will be deleted permanently and will not be recoverable.
Hint : Use Ctrl+Left-Click to select multiple items that are not next to each other.
Dear Joggee,
Thank you very much for this very useful- easy tip. We are a huge company and all professionals and always send emails to everyone but nobody actually know how to do a recall.
Thanks. You solve our problem. Its simple but yet, we can’t figured out how to do it.
I heard about not bad application-recover outlook messages,
program recover Outlook files and data from corrupted pst files of all Microsoft Outlook mail clients, save the recovered information as files with the *.pst extension, recover Outlook email and data from corrupted *.pst files protected with a password,recover Outlook email and data from corrupted pst files larger than 2GB with the maximum size for *.pst files of 32TB, read *.ost and *.pst files with strong encryption, recover Outlook contacts,runs under all Windows operating systems starting from Windows 98.
There is also a registry hack you can use which allows you to recover deleted items from ALL outlook folder. Take a look: http://www.groovypost.com/howto/microsoft/outlook/recover-deleted-email-in-microsoft-outlook-from-any-folder/
Hope that helps.
The recall option is useless. You can not recall a message once it has been sent so don’t try it — you’ll just look stupid.
