Same question as bobalou....on my computer at work there was an "Actions" in
the toolbar in Outlook Express. I think it's OE. So, is there such a tool
on Windows XP? Any takers? T/Y!
 
Recalling sent mail generally fails... and it's not in OE, only OL when used
with Exchange server.

No, that's Outlook - and Message Recall works only if you're using Outlook,
connecting to an Exchange server (and rarely works even then, to be honest).
There's no such feature in OE that I know of.
So,
is there such a tool on Windows XP?

The Windows version doesn't matter...
Any takers? T/Y!

Note that for OE questions you should post in an OE group. This is a group
to support Outlook from the Office group of programs. Outlook Express is a
part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program, despite its similar name..

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

If you're accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services Community Newsgroups web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number.

A good website for information on OE is:

Thanks so much Chuck. Yeah, had a little trouble trying to find the correct
place to post my question. Thankfully, a couple of nice folks out there were
generous enough to answer my question just the same. Take your answer.......

Thanks to all!
 
If you haven't gotten an answer yet do this. Open the email you want to
recall. Choose Action and then Recall Message. It will ask you if you want
to delete unread copies of the message or replace the message with a new
message, so you have to choose which one you want. This will only delete
messages that haven't been read yet. This is good for when you send out a
message without the attachment.
 
I attempted to recall a 2-1-2005 message sent to multiple recipients moments
after it was sent.....all recall attempts have failed. I'm contining to get
multiple "Failed Attempt" messages from the primary recipient. 10 the day
after. 13 this morning when I started Outlook. Still getting 1 or 2 during
the day. Will it ever stop? Is there a way to stop the attempts?
