Deleting a sent email

[Guest]

I sent a couple of messages..using Microsoft Outlook to a person using YAHOO
.... I went to my navigation field, to the sent folder and double clicked the
sent email....I went to options and checked, "recall msg" and I then told the
computer to delete unread msgs. I do know this person has not read their
email, been out of town...so my questions are:

1) How can I ensure the email I sent was deleted?

2) Does the original sent email still show up in their inbox?

The feature "Recall Message" is only available in an exchange
eniviroment. If you use Outlook with an POP3/IMAP-Account instead,
there is no way to recall the message.

2) Does the original sent email still show up in their inbox?

The message will be shown in recipient's inbox, when he fetches its
SMTP-Server or - when the recipient does not use an email-client -,
when he fetches mails over the webinterface of its provider. You have
no chance to prevent that he will see the message in his inbox, unless
you have access to his inbox ;-).

Thanks for replying.....

My Outlook is set up using Alltel (mail.alltel.net)....so would this mean,
there is a possibility that the email was deleted or basically I am up a
creek!!

Thanks, Elizabeth

Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. All
unsolicited mail sent to my personal account will be deleted without
reading.
