With Microsoft Outlook Cancel a Scheduled Email feature, you can stop an email message from being sent that you had planned to be sent at a later date or time. If you accidentally set off an email to be sent but then decide you need to change it before it goes out, or if you just decide you don’t want to send it anymore, this feature can help.
Click on the “Outbox” folder in your email account, find the email message you want to delete, and then click “Delete.” This will stop Outlook from sending the planned email. After that, Outlook will take the email message out of the list of messages that need to be sent, so it won’t get delivered at the planned time.
It is important to remember that you can only stop a scheduled email if it has not already been sent. You can’t take back or cancel a message that has already been sent. If you need to make changes or corrections to the message, you will need to contact the receiver directly.

Tips for Avoiding Email Mishaps in Outlook
- Before you send, make sure you’ve included the right items.
- Make sure the file names and sizes are right and not too big by checking them twice.
- If you can help it, don’t give private data as an attachment. Instead, use safe ways to share files.
- Check your email over and over for spelling and grammar mistakes as well as true errors.
- Don’t depend on the spell and grammar checks too much, but do use it.
- You might miss mistakes if you only read your email to yourself.
- Make sure email names are correct before sending so that the message doesn’t get sent to the wrong person by accident.
- Check Distribution Lists to make sure they are correct and get rid of any people who weren’t supposed to receive the information.
Conclusion
The sending of an email cannot be canceled or recalled after it has been sent. You should make careful to cancel any undesirable emails before the time when they are due to be delivered.
FAQs
Your outbox is the place where you will always be able to locate your scheduled emails. In order to reschedule your mail, you must first click on the message, then navigate to the Delay Delivery section, make any required adjustments to the delayed message, and finally click the Close button.
In order to modify or cancel a scheduled email, you need to locate the message in your Drafts folder, open the email, click the arrow next to “Send on {date},” and then choose a new date, time, or “unschedule” to completely remove it from your schedule.
Will the receiver be able to see the delay in delivery when you use Gmail? No. There is no indication in Gmail as to whether or not a message that has been delivered has been scheduled. In this method, the people who receive your letter will have no way of knowing that you have written it in advance.
