Recalling a Message in the Outlook Mobile App: A Step-by-Step Guide

Outlook is a powerful email management tool that allows users to recall sent messages in case of errors or changes in decision. If you’ve ever sent an email and immediately regretted it, you’ll be glad to know that Outlook provides a feature that allows you to recall messages sent using the Outlook mobile app. In this guide, we will walk you through the process of recalling a message on the Outlook mobile app, step by step.

Step 1: Open the Outlook Mobile App

Begin by opening the Outlook mobile app on your device. Ensure that you are logged in to the account from which you sent the email you wish to recall.

Step 2: Navigate to the Sent Items Folder

Once you are in the Outlook app, navigate to the Sent Items folder. This is where you will find the email that you want to recall.

Step 3: Select the Email to Recall

Locate the email that you want to recall from the Sent Items folder. Tap and hold on the email to select it.

Step 4: Tap on the More Options (Three Dots) Icon

After selecting the email, tap on the more options icon (three dots) located at the top of the screen. This will open a drop-down menu with various options.

Step 5: Choose Recall This Message

From the drop-down menu, select the ‘Recall This Message’ option. Outlook will then attempt to recall the email from the recipient’s inbox.

Tips and Best Practices for Recalling Messages:

• Act quickly: Recall requests are only successful if the recipient has not yet opened the email.
• Double-check before sending: To avoid the need to recall messages, double-check your email content and recipients before hitting send.
• Use discretion: Only recall messages when absolutely necessary, as the process can alert recipients to the fact that you tried to recall an email.

By following these steps and tips, you can effectively recall messages sent using the Outlook mobile app. Remember to use this feature judiciously and always double-check your emails before sending to minimise the need for message recalls.
