Can anyone help me to withdraw a sent email please. I can see the sent message on my webmail but can find no way of unsending it. In Outlook, had I used Outlook there is a feature to do this but as I used my ipad and email pro I dont know if its possible

Hi and welcome to the forums!

No, once an email is out into the ether it's too late.

Outlook's 'recall' feature will only work if people are using MS Exchange as far as I know. Details here from MS

Where people/companies have used Outlook to attempt to 'recall' an email another 'attempted to recall' email is generated. This normally only highlights the original error and makes everyone rush to read the original to see what they've said! :¬)

dont that fall under the streisand effect

The Streisand effect is the phenomenon whereby an attempt to hide, remove, or censor a piece of information has the unintended consequence of publicizing the information more widely, usually facilitated by the Internet.

I guess it does :¬)
Probably overtaken these days by the 'super-injunction'...


A good BBC article here: The Streisand Effect: When censorship backfires

EDIT:
That link mentions Martha Payne and her Never Seconds Blog.

I remember the storey when it broke - very touching...
Martha has now made over £130,000 pounds for the Mary's Meals charity!!!

The video on her Never Seconds blog is worth a look...
