Retrieve email I sent to the wrong person

Expand Post »
I just sent an email to the wrong person - the guy I'm applying for a job for. I know he hasn't opened it yet because its Sunday. Is there ANY way to get it back???????

Please help! I'm desperate. A pending job could depend on it.

Thank you!

Re: Retrieve email I sent to the wrong person

Does hotmail have a help desk? I'd like to ask them a couple other questions too.

Re: Retrieve email I sent to the wrong person

The only way I know of deleting sent mail before it's read is if you have AOL and the person you're sending it to also has AOL.

Re: Retrieve email I sent to the wrong person

if you are using outlook, open the sent message, click actions & "Recall this message"

too late in this case i'm sure but it's a handy thing to know.

You need to learn attention to detail.

Re: Retrieve email I sent to the wrong person

This world would be a lot nicer place if there weren't so many smart ass people in it, as in Mr. or Miss kmase. Did you happen to notice rkvandyk's post; that a pending job could depend upon it? OF course, you are probably Mr. Perfect, who never makes mistakes and has a nice comfortablre job.

I was going to ask the same question about a message I sent from Yahoo. I know how to do it in Outlook and there are probably others, but I think most don't.

Is there any tolerance or compassion left in this world of ours? I see less and less all the time and this is a perfect example.

Did I make any mistakes here?

Re: Retrieve email I sent to the wrong person

were you able to retrieve a sent e-mail? I don't know if I can retrieve an e-mail sent through Juno if it's still unopened
Thanks
