Hi,
We sent a confidential email from our Office 365 email to an external Gmail address.
This email was sent by mistake and sent a few minutes ago.
Is there any way we can recall the email or delete it so that the recipient does not get to read it?
Thanks,
Robbie

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program in the category of groupware environments used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions may internally act as an email client; as a whole, it is commonly referred to as webmail. Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.
