How can you delete a sent message out of someone else's inbox.?

Question

I sent the wrong message to the wrond person, and was wondering if I could any way possible to delete that from their inbox?

Answer 1

No
Short answer but correct - there is nothing you can do except send another one to alert them of the mistake.

Answer 2

In short, no. To make an analogy, if you mailed out a letter through postal mail, and then decided you didn't want to do that, there's really nothing you could do at that point. It's pretty much too late after you've dropped the letter in the mailbox. Likewise, you can't cancel a sent email for the same reason why you can't delete emails from other people's Inboxes: because their inboxes are protected from people like you in the public trying to tamper with them.

Some mail programs like Outlook let you send out a cancelation notice to other Outlook users, telling people to delete the last email you sent. If they accept the cancelation, then the original gets deleted. But still, there's nothing stopping the recipient from reading it anyway and deleting the cancelation request.

Answer 3

The only way to do that is to go into their e-mail and delete it from their inbox. Otherwise no.

Answer 4

If you are on a Novell Network, Running Groupwise as your Messenger, then you can retract and delete. Outside of that, I think you are out of luck

Answer 5

You can't really ..unless you know their password ..sorry.
