How To Recall An Email In Outlook For Mac

1. Open your email account. For Outlook for Mac, choose the “Mail” icon from the Dock.
2. Once you’re in your email account, find the email you want to recall. Click on it and drag it down to the bottom of your inbox until it’s below all of your other emails.
3. With that email selected, use the “Options” button in the top-right corner of your inbox and select “Remove from Inbox”.
4. That’s all there is to it! Your email will disappear from your inbox for a few seconds (the time depends on how many emails you have). When you go back to look at your inbox, you’ll see that the email has been removed from there and is no longer visible in any way. In most cases, this will be enough time for you to grab that message off of Google or wherever else it’s stored before someone else does so again (if they haven’t already deleted it themselves). If you’d like a little more control, you can also choose to “Mark as Read” the email.

Remove Unwanted Emails From Outlook

• Open Outlook for Mac and select the email you wish to recall.
• Right-click on the email, and select “Mark as Unread” to mark it as unread.
• Now, use the arrow keys on your keyboard to highlight “Mark as Read” and press Enter.
• Select “Mark as Unread” from the pop-up menu that appears after clicking “Mark as Read.”
• Select “Unarchive” from the pop-up menu that appears after clicking Mark all unread items in your inbox.
• You will now see a new option in your list of emails called Archived Items that contains all of your archived emails or messages (depending on how you set up Outlook). As shown above, this option can be found at the bottom of your inbox list (under Archived Items). Clicking it will automatically display all of your archived emails in a separate window, as shown below.
• Select the email you wish to recall and click “Open Archive” on the left side of the screen.
• As shown above, Outlook will now display a new window showing all of your archived emails in an easy-to-read format. You can click on any email in this window to view it as it was when you archived it.
• To access your archived emails at a later time, simply select the email and click “Open Archive” again to return to your regular inbox list and retrieve your email from there. You can also delete the archived messages from this window by clicking “Delete All Unarchived Items” at the bottom of each archive window or by clicking “Delete Selected Items” directly on their respective names in this window (as shown above).

Create Folders And Tags

• First, you need to create a folder to store your email. The folder will be the home for all of your emails. It’s important that you create a folder for each type of email account you manage.
• Next, use the “New Folder” option in the File menu to create a new folder. Name the new folder and give it any name that makes sense to you.
• Once you’ve created a new folder, select it and click on “New Tag” in the “File” menu to create a tag for this folder. Name this tag anything that makes sense to you. Tags are very useful when it comes time to search through your inbox later on because Outlook will search through all of your folders and tags when searching through messages on your computer.
• Finally, select the newly created tag from the “Tag” drop-down list in the “View/Folder Options” menu. Click on “OK” to save the new tag.
