Email Bloopers

Have you ever sent an email and then immediately realised that you had made a mistake? Do you wish that you could get the email back before anyone reads it? I was recently asked if it was possible to recall an email that had been sent in error, and whilst it is feasible to send out a recall notice from Outlook, this is not a reliable method across all email platforms. So are there any options for those of us prone to the odd email gaffe?

One method we found was to set a small delay on all outgoing emails. This will give you time to recover from the occasional ‘oops’ email before it leaves the building.

Has anyone else got their own solutions to this perennial problem?

UPDATE: Here’s a big list of example email bloopers
