As of 2022, more than 333bn emails are sent every day around the world, according to online recruitment firm Zippia. So with that many emails flying around, there’s inevitably going to be some that need unsending.
Maybe you made a mistake and want to amend an email, or had a change of heart and want to cancel it altogether. Luckily, Microsoft and Google both allow users to unsend emails with a handy feature, and it can be done in just a few simple steps.
With Outlook’s message recall and Gmail’s undo send, an email you sent can be retrieved from the mailboxes of the recipients who have yet to open it. Outlook even lets you retrieve an email and replace it with a new one, so you can easily correct a mistake and put things right.
