Can You Retract A Sent Email ?

[dieseldick]

just wrote a nasty email to a company, used bad language and now wish to retract it.

is it possible, i use gmail.

No, suffer the consequences, if any.

Or tell them you were hacked, doubt they'll believe you though.

Tell 'em it wasn't a good day and grovel sickeningly.

Who is your email provider? Gmail lets you cancel an email if you are quick

[Fitzer]

Only if you've set it up in your account and then you only get a max of 30 seconds, in fact it's not actually a recall but a delayed send

Some options>
Forget it. I doubt they will call the police. Do they even know your name /address?
Apologise.
Close your email account
