How do I delete an email I just sent?

email I just sent, how do I do that? I believe there is a way as long as the
recipient hasn't yet opened the email.

If you've sent an email, there is no way to get it back or 'unsend' it.

Have you ever accidentally sent an e-mail you wish you could "unsend"? Well, maybe you can.
If you use Microsoft Exchange Server as your e-mail server, and the recipient uses Outlook, you can
recall the message before the person has a chance to read it.
To recall a message after you've sent it:
1.. Open your Sent Items folder.
2.. Double-click the message you want recalled.
3.. On the Actions menu, click Recall This Message.
4.. To recall the message, click Delete unread copies of this message. To replace the message with
another one, click Delete unread copies and replace with a new message, click OK, and then type a
new message.
5.. To be notified about the success of the recall or replacement for each recipient, select the
Tell me if recall succeeds or fails for each recipient check box.
6.. Click OK.

Disable the send immediately option in Outlook. Then, from now on, give
yourself a cooling off period before sending that flame mail or a safety
period to let you find out if your statements were wrong. Review your
e-mails before sending. Customize the toolbar to remove the Send button to
force you to navigate into the File menu. Any changes you make are simply
trying to protect you from embarassing yourself from your own actions.
Once the e-mail is sent, you are no longer in control. You do not get to
control anyone else's host but your own. There is the possibility that you
could recall a message but that requires sending another e-mail which may
arrive too late and not be opened before the original mail is opened. There
are far too many requirements for recall to work that even under the best
scenario (sender and recipient within the same Exchange-Outlook
organization) it is still a flaky operation.

Looks like you might be getting that divorce, sacked from your job,
Apprehensive Violence Order, busted, reprimanded for your insults and bad
behaviour after all CWS.
Maybe you should sent a really bad virus out to that email and hope they
open that one first.

If both you and the recipient are using the same Exchange Server, and
if the recipient hasn't yet downloaded the email to his/her personal
PST, then you should be able to recall the message.

CWS, this is the Boss. Just got your flame email (with an Exchange notice
that you tried to cancel it). Don't bother coming into work tomorrow. You're
fired. We'll mail your personal gear along with your final check. See ya!
Good luck on your new counter job at Wendy's.

It only works with AOL if both the sender and recipient use AOL.
