Help, help, help!!!! Tracing emails sent...
Is there any way to trace what emails you've sent out/what email addresses you've sent stuff to? I'm very very worried i may have sent the wrong email to someone....
My sent messages are not automatically saved in my Yahoo account...
is there any way in heaven or hell???????

Unless you have automatically saved, I don't know of many ways. Perhaps the history button on your browser? Click the page which should show the sent message.

You could send that person an apology email. It depends on how well you know the person and what is at stake.

I've just checked my Hotmail via history & can't see anything except for pages I've viewed. I will ask My son when he's back, he shouldn't be to long

I'm very sorry, but my son says he doesn't think it can be done.

Yeah, it can't really be done. Unless you want to go to the trouble of getting support from your email service. I guess you live and learn. Try to remember to save the drafts of every mail you write (if your email service doesn't automatically put messages into a "sent box"), double check the draft, and then send the email. It is a hassle, but it is worth it when sending some important information.

I use AOL mail and it has an "unsend" button, which I assume deletes the desired message from the person's mailbox if they have not opened it yet. I think other email services have stuff like this as well, so check around really well and see if you find something (or contact an administrator and see if they have a feature like that).

above was button pressed in error
I did ask someone who does computer programming in USA...sorry, but no it can't be done.
I know that what is done is done now, but I've done this in the past ( or at least intended to save an email sent, so I put 'a post it' on the top of the monitor to remind me.
The new hotmail, although just awful at the moment, does have 'save all messages sent option'.

I use separate email accounts for certain things. I never use send all on contact list.

"Anyone want a laugh re email mistake I made the other day????"
lol Thanks for the laugh WfM.
It's good to be able to laugh at one's "mistakes".I like the old Hotmail better actually-This new way is driving me a bit crazy too-it's very busy to look at for one thing. Why change it anyway??

What really drives me crackers ( & I don't really need any more help to achieve this ) is that damned great advert that stops you viewing the page.
