About This Feature
Overview
Recall Email in WPS on Windows lets you try to retract a sent email when the required conditions are satisfied. It provides two common entry points and shows the recall conditions before you confirm the action, so you can decide whether to continue.
Core tasks include:
- Start a recall from the Sent folder list for quick handling.
- Start a recall from the email detail view after reviewing the message.
- Check the recall conditions and result notification method in the confirmation dialog.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports recalling a sent email from the Sent list or the email detail view. The confirmation dialog shows the conditions, including sending within 24 hours, using an internal domain recipient, and sending through WPS Mail. Results are delivered by system email. | Outlook supports recalling a message in Windows or on the web, but it generally requires both sender and recipient to use Microsoft 365 work or school accounts in the same organization, and the recipient must not have opened the message. | Gmail offers Undo Send, which cancels sending within a short delay window rather than recalling a message after delivery. | Notion Mail officially supports composing email, scheduling send, and Gmail-based inbox management, but its public help pages do not describe a sent email recall feature. | Adobe Acrobat Sign supports recipient replacement or agreement management for signature workflows, rather than normal email recall in a mailbox. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides two direct recall entry points and shows the recall conditions and result notice before you confirm the action. | Compared with WPS: recall depends more heavily on organization and account type, so personal mailbox scenarios are more limited. | Compared with WPS: the feature is an undo-send delay, not a post-send recall workflow. | Compared with WPS: current public guidance focuses on composing and inbox management, without an official sent-email recall workflow. | Compared with WPS: the workflow is centered on e-signature agreements, not standard email sending and recall. |

Overall Conclusion
If your message was sent through WPS Mail and still meets the recall conditions, WPS gives you a direct in-product recall path with condition reminders before confirmation. Compared with Outlook, Gmail, Notion Mail, and Adobe's adjacent workflows, WPS is more focused on the sent-email recall task itself in this scenario.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable Users | Main Pain Point | How WPS Helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Correcting a wrong recipient quickly | Everyday office senders | The email has already been sent to the wrong person | Start recall directly from the Sent list |
| 2 | Reviewing message content before recall | Users who want to double-check the email | You want to inspect the message before deciding | Open the email detail view and use Recall Message |
| 3 | Checking whether recall conditions are met | Internal organization mailbox users | You are not sure whether recall can still work | Review the 24-hour, internal-domain, and sending-method conditions in the dialog |
| 4 | Tracking whether the recall succeeded | Users who need a result trail | You need confirmation after the action | Check the system email for the recall result |
| 5 | Avoiding accidental actions | Frequent email users | You want to reduce mistakes before confirming | Read the confirmation details before choosing Recall or Cancel |
