To correct a previously sent email, use the 'Undo Send' feature if available in your email client. For Gmail, click 'Undo' within the time frame set in Settings. If it's too late to undo, send a follow-up email apologizing and making the correction. Keep the tone polite and concise, focusing on clarifying the mistake. In Outlook, you can try the 'Recall' feature,** though it's not always reliable as it depends on the recipient's server settings. Communication is key, so ensure your correction is clear and understandable.
