Windows ME

[vonnette]

I have Windows ME.  I sent out an email but I want to recall it because I don't want to send it to the individual.  How do I recall the email after it has already been sent?

What e-mail program are you using? I'm assuming Outlook or Outlook Express.

Wow, to my knowledge, once an email is sent it's out there.  Maybe you can run over to the recipients house and get on his/her system and delete it (see the Answering Machine episode of Seinfeld).  I'm very interested to hear if there is actually a way to recall emails.

As they said before, I'm afraid there's no way to recall or delete a sent e-mail. Just like think before you speak; think before you send.

Reminds me of that episode of the Simpsons where Homer sends out the sarcastic letter to Mr. Burns but the tries to get it back.

Unless you know this person's email account password, and you can log in and delete the message, there's no way to bring it back once delivered.

"Been there...done that!"  

That is one advantage of "snail mail." You have to physically write the letter, put it into an envelope, put a stamp on it, and put it in a mailbox. All of this gives you time to re-think it. With email, all it takes is one quick click and it's gone.    As has already been said, think before you send.
