Sometimes if we are sending messages to our recipient, we realized after that something is missing or wrong in the message that we sent. To avoid embarrassment I will show you in this post how you can change the message that you sent to your recipient.

Remember that you can only change the message that you sent if it is not read yet or the outlook is open otherwise you can’t do anything. Follow that step below how to recall or change the message that you sent.
