Can I recall an email if I mark it as unread?

Once you’ve read the email, I believe any recall attempt after that will fail. Check out this link for more details: [Recall Outlook Email](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/recall-an-outlook-email-message-35027f88-d655-4554-b4f8-6c0729a723a0#picktab=new_outlook). Make sure to act quick!

Honestly, the best move here is to just delete the email and let your boss know you recognized it was sent to you by mistake. Be upfront about it; they’ll appreciate your honesty.

Marking an email as read or unread doesn’t change anything with the recall feature. It only affects how it appears on your end. If your boss recalls it after you’ve seen it, she’s likely to get a failed recall notice.
