If I send a message to someone and they have not yet opened it (envelope still purple in sent messages) then I cancel it from my list, would they still see the message?

I wonder why you would want to remove it from your sent message box? It doesn't take up any space on your computer and you might get a response months from now and forget what you said in your message.

I'm not sure that the information / message will still be in the other person's message box.
I recently searched my messages for something and couldn't find it, although I'd previously read the message and replied to it.I can only presume that the other person deleted her messages.

I'm happy to do a 'test' if someone wants to try this now.

The reason I asked this question was that I had sent a message to someone but then realized that it was not worded right, so I wondered that if I deleted it from my sent box while it was still not opened by them, would it delete it from their inbox.

Hope that makes sense?

I have done that but no reply yet, but as I say I just wondered if it was deleted from their end. All I wanted was a yes it does or no it doesn’t.

Thank you all

It is similar to any other rmessaging system. Deleting a message only deletes your copy, not the recipients.
