This article will show you how to enable and use the "Undo Send" feature of the Outlook mail service, which allows you to recall an email within a limited amount of time (from the moment you click Submit). The Undo Send feature is not available in the Outlook mobile app.

Steps

Part 1 of 2: How to enable the Undo Submit feature

1. 1 Open the website Outlook. Your inbox will open (if you're signed in to your Outlook account).
   • If you are not already signed in to your account, click Sign In, enter your email address (or phone number) and password, and then click Sign In.
2. 2 Click on ⚙️. This icon is in the upper-right corner of the Outlook page.
3. 3 Click Options. You will find this option at the bottom of the dropdown menu.
4. 4 Click Cancel Submission. It's in the upper-left side of the Outlook window, under the Automatic Processing section of the Mail tab.
5. 5 Check the box next to "Allow me to cancel sending messages within." This option is located in the "Cancel Submission" section at the top of the page.
6. 6 Open the menu with time intervals. The default is 10 seconds, but you can choose any of the following values:
   • 5 seconds;
   • 10 Seconds;
   • 15 seconds;
   • 30 seconds.
7. 7 Click on the time span. It determines how long you can cancel sending a letter (from the moment you clicked "Send").
8. 8 Click Save. This button is at the top of the page. This will enable the "Undo Submit" feature so you can use it.

Part 2 of 2: How to Recall an Email

1. 1 Click ← Options. This button is in the upper left corner of the screen. You will be returned to the mailbox.
2. 2 Click + Create. You will find this option above the inbox at the top of the page. A new window will open on the right in which you can create a letter.
3. 3 Enter information to create a letter. Since it will be revoked, this information does not really matter, but you still need to fill in the following lines and fields:
   • "To whom";
   • "Topic";
   • "Text of the letter".
4. 4 Click Submit. This button is in the lower-right corner of the email window. The email will be sent.
5. 5 Click Cancel Submission. This button will appear in the upper right corner of the screen. The process of sending the letter will be stopped, and the letter itself will be displayed in a new browser window. Now the letter can be edited or deleted by clicking "Cancel" at the bottom of the window.

Warnings

• When the Undo Send feature expires, you will not be able to recall the email.
