Anyone know how to recall an email sent from phone?

I know there probably isn't a way. I've looked this up in the past and found nothjng. I'm just grabbing at straws.

my phone is a galaxy s4.

 

You mean that you want to 'un-send' the e-mail, or just look at it?

 

Unsend. I changed my mind about sending it. When I went to delete it, my fat finger hit send. I went to look at it in my "Sent" box to see if it made sense, since I hadn't proof read it. And that was pretty much the beginning of the end for me...goodbye cruel world.

Actually I'm probably making a bigger deal out of it than it is. I feel relaxed (or drained maybe), now that I realize that it is too late.

I sent it to a lady that is in her 60s at least.



How in the fuck do you get this from "sincerely"...how? I hate my phone now.

 

You can't unsend. I'm pretty sure everyone understands auto-correct by now.

 

lmao

 

You are right. I just think of 60 years old and I still think of my grandmother.

Never mind everyone.

 

You could set up an mx server for your email, that sticks your mail in an outbox and sends it all once a day, giving you time to retrieve it.

But no, your emails already sent.

Autocorrect freaking sucks.

 

Yeah, it sucks sometimes. Fat fingers don't help either. She already responded and acted like she did not see it. I have to face her about every 4 weeks or so. It is no big deal, but it is embarrassing. She acts so serious and old.

 

:smilielol5:hahahahhahaaha You didn't tell me WHAT it said when you messaged me earlier. I'm sorry that I think its so funny. It's not funny yet. It will be in a few weeks but I'm sure its not yet. Except if you're me and I'm laughing WITH you. Not AT you. It's just that you're not laughing YET but you will. Then we can laugh together. I'm sorry I'm laughing friend!

 

That's ok. Actually that makes it better. I think Eggsprog is right about everyone knowing about auto correct. She's at least 60 and a nice person, but she is very serious and proper. I hope she doesn't think that I have a rare form of turrets syndrome where I type crazy stuff. Digital turrets!

It's no big deal. I just flaked for I little bit. That is a pretty bad feeling when you first realize what you've done.

Now I feel bad about laughing at one of my wife's best friends who accidentally responded to ALL to a group message from another friend and referred to her husband as "bozo". She called my wife in a panic asking her to walk down to the office of the lady who sent the original message to she if my wife could get to the response first and delete it (they work at the same company). It was too late. She responded. I don't know what the response was, but I understand that it was bad.

I love your suggestion about not filling out the "Recipient:" field until I'm sure I'm ready to send. I will do that from now on.

 

Thanks for the advice lode. I didn't see this earlier.

 

I never type in the recipient until the end, it's a good habit haha.

If you use gmail, there is an option under google labs that you can turn on that gives you an "unsend" button for 30 seconds before the e-mail actually goes out.

 

She probably looked at it and thought, "cat".

Are there phones that don't let you turn that piece of shit off? I refuse to use it.

 

I'm trying to tell myself that is what she was thinking, ha.

I would turn it off but I have Fred Flintstone fingers and I'm constantly hitting 2 buttons at once. The auto correct/auto complete cut my typing time in half...if only it wouldn't double my embarrassment time, I would be ok.

I'm double checking everything now.

 

I hate tiny keyboards. I'm still fanatically loyal to my laptop.

 

Look on the bright side, you may have made her day by giving her something to ponder about. My mom is 84 and if she got that she would sit and wonder and then eventually laugh.

 

I'm still laughing about this.....and the other conversation we had. HAHAHA

 

what kind of auto correct do you have? usually they censor the shit out of everything that could even be construed as being similar to a vaguely dirty word. if anything, it seems like it would have said "sri p****."

ha, i'm still fanatically loyal to my desktop because i feel like the laptop keyboard is too tiny.

 

Yeah, just explain that you meant to say "Sir Pussy", I'm sure she'll understand

 

Sometimes I plug a full-sized USB keyboard into it.
