How can I recall a sent message in Thunderbird ?
I recently sent a wrong message and would like to recall the message (if possible) - I searched the forum and help database and could not find any guidance on this issue.....Is it possible to recall a sent email ?

It's not available in TB, and the only service I know that offers recalls is gmail via webmail.

Oh ok....I beleive outlook has this facility of recalling messages too, but not sure how that works...maybe one of the developers would be interested in developing this add on ?
It appears the idea has been raised before:

Thanks so much for the link, I understand now, that I should be more careful whilst sending mails......and to use the send later add on to avoid this issue coming up again...
Gmail does not recall so much as puts a delay on actual sending, so if you do a recall quick enough, the 'send' can be stopped. http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2015/06/undo-send-graduates-from-gmail-labs.html
