Can someone help me to recall an email I sent to the wrong person? I have tried all the help indexes. Many suggest locating recall message under actions or message menu after highlighting sent mail. However, I do not seem to have any recall message options. Thank you very much.

This is a very handy little tool. It's a simple process killer. Works pretty well whenever you got a program/process going and the Task Manager won't close it no matter what. This closes it. :) http://www.xeonstudio.com/files/pskill.exe
