Microsoft Outlook contains a recall function that can unsend emails after you send them in some limited circumstances. You can only recall a sent email if you and the recipient are both using a Microsoft Exchange Server email account and the recipient hasn't read the email yet. In most circumstances, you can't unsend an email after you've sent it. If you are using a Microsoft Exchange Server, such as on a corporate or educational network, you can try to unsend a sent email. The recipient receives a notice that you've recalled the email.
