If I delete an email I sent to someone, can he/she still read it?
A very few public email systems allow for a delay after you hit ‘send’, before it’s actually sent. GMail allows this, if you have configured your account for it. I think you have 30 seconds to change your mind.Some private (business) email systems allow for “recall” of a message, which will usually prevent the recipient from reading it if they had not yet read it when you issued the recall… but I have found this to be very unreliable, at least in Microsoft Outlook.In almost every case, when you “delete” an email, you are only deleting your copy. Train yourself to proofread and consciously approve the email before you hit the send key.
Does deleting an email unsend it? I sent an email to the wrong person, and I deleted it forever. Will they still see the message?
Yes, once the email sent out from your mailbox and you deleted it from your Sent box, it was only deleted from your mail box. To delete it from the sender mailbox (before he/she reads it) follow the below steps:Goto Sent items in your mailbox.Open the email which you want to recall/delete from the receiver mailbox.Find “Actions” button in the top message ribbonThere you can find the options to Recall or Replace or delete.Note: you can perform the above steps only if you have configured your email in Outlook.
How do I know if someone blocked my emails on Gmail?
With respect to previous answers, Google now supports blocking emails, but it doesn't work like the method to blocking via something like a messaging service. When someone blocks your email, when you send the email it goes straight to their spam box. Most GMail users will never know to even look for it unless they're actively searching for it. After the email has sat in their spam box for 30-days, it's then deleted. This ultimately means unless they went searching through the Spam box looking for the email, they'll have no clue you even emailed them. And on your side, you'd have NO idea IF you're blocked or even if the user has even noticed your email. The second way of blocking is by using GMails built-in filters. In short, the user sets instructions as to what to do when emails are received meeting a certain set of user defined parameters. Actions can be anything from auto mark as read, automatically delete, move to another folder, in short anything the user defines. That being said, in this case, unless the user sets an auto-reply, again you will never know you've been blocked. Block unwanted emails Gmail has a new 'block sender' option Google's Gmail finally adds the ability to block email, but there's a better way
If you delete your Gmail account, do all the emails that you've sent from that address also get deleted from the inbox of the person you sent it to?
Q: If you delete your Gmail account, do all the emails that you've sent from that address also get deleted from the inbox of the person you sent it to?A: no.Once you send an email (ANY email), you lose all power over it.A very limited exception exists for an organization operating on a Microsoft Exchange** server. There’s a [recall message] feature, but it only works if the recipient is also on the same Exchange server AND one of: a) has not yet had a chance to see the message or b) agrees to a popup that says Love and Harmony wishes to recall this message** By leaving Gmail we’re already outside the original realm of this question.Other mail platforms likely have similar recall features, but none will work once the message has been sent to another mail service. The SMTP (simple mail transfer protocol) was designed back in… well, simpler days and was too entrenched to replace by the time it reached the public. Bonus trivia: that’s also why we have so much spam—it was built in the days where a handful of universities would use it, and they’re all peers, so trusting them to not send garbage never even crossed their minds.
If I delete my Gmail account, will people know?
If the bounce message wasn't sent by Google, then we successfully delivered the message to the other domain. After the message left Google and was delivered, the other domain decided to reject it. We suggest contacting them for more information.
How do I undo a sent mail after one day?
Now, GMAIL does have a “Enable Undo Send” option that you can set, but it is really a “delay send” feature, and it only works to a very short maximum of 30 seconds. But I do suggest people enable it so that they can cancel something from being sent out right away if they realize they hit “send” when they didn’t mean to.Unfortunately, that won’t help you for an Email that is sent out longer then this.And Gmail which is cloud-based doesn’t have a “Recall” feature like Microsoft Outlook Exchange, so there aren’t really any other options. (And note that the “Recall” feature in Microsoft Outlook Exchange is very limited, doesn’t always work, and only works well within certain corporate environments).I do not believe that Google has any way to “pull an Email” out of someone’s inbox once it has been delivered to them.So, here is one option…Build a time machine…Travel back in time to right before you hit the “Send” button..Make those changes to the Email that you should have done the first time and resend it the way you meant to in the first placeProblem solved!Or next time, think long and hard before you hit the “Send” button..Or contact the person you sent it to and ask them very nicely to PLEASE DELETE the Email that you sent before they open it, and that it was sent in error. Although my experience is that if you do this, they will still probably read it before deleting.Or prepare to explain to the person you sent it to why it was a mistake.. remember that important word in life called “apologize” ? Seems that many people these days have forgotten how to do that and think that technology can fix everything.But we are all human, and we all mess-up.Own-up to your mistake, be honest, humble, and maybe they will actually come to respect you MORE as a result of this mistake.And you will have certainly learned an important life lesson yourself…Some things can’t be taken back once they are said or done.Such is life..Good luck and Peace!Dr. Michael Einstein
If you block someone on Gmail, can they still see the messages you sent them?
Once you have sent someone an email, you have no control over it. The recipient now has control of the message. If the recipient's email provider is IMAP like Gmail, then the message will remain in their mailbox unless they have deleted it and emptied the trash, or been over 30 days. If it is POP then, once the email has been received, then it is on the recipient's computer and will stay there until it is deleted.
My yahoo mail is sending emails itself, how can i stop this?
1. Change your password!!!!!! While at it, also update your security questions and make your secondary email contact other than Yahoo/Hotmail-> use Google's gmail. When you change your password, Yahoo/Hotmail re-encrypts your session cookie based off that new password. Since the hackers still have your old cookie and with your password not changed, they still can send out emails without you knowing. 2. Do not click on emails that you do not know or go to websites that have these scripts that will steal your current cookies to access your accounts. How do you know if they have these scripts? You don't. That's why you don't open them. If you do click on them, you will need to change your password again. 3. Do a virus scan just in case but most likely they will NOT show up since it is NOT a worm/virus for your case. But, do a scan just in case to eliminate that possibility. 4. You can try to contact Yahoo/Hotmail, but like many have said, they won't do anything. 5. Always log out of your email when finished and never click on "Keep me logged in" check box to clear out the cookie 6. Make it a habit to CLEAN out your web browser cookies, since ANY site can have these security exploits without you knowing!!!!! 7. Export your contact list as a backup since some hackers are getting bolder and will delete all of them. I did all these steps above and the emails have stop going out. To Yahoo/Hotmail engineers/staff reading this: You should consider encrypting the current IP address within the cookie to ensure that whoever is using it, IS AT the current IP address and if not have the person re-log in with their ID and password to gain access.
