Can you delete an email to stop a recipient from receiving it?

If you're both on AOL it's possible...(not sure how though)

I'm sorry but the best thing to do now is to break into their house and install a keylogger on their pc, this records all key strokes which you can later recall and read. There must be no obvious signs of entry, can you get their keys?

The timing of this next part is crucial, they must log into their email (which lets your keylogger get their log in credentials) but they must not open that email! You will probably need a two man team and some long-range binoculars for this part, I would suggest watching until the moment said person types password and presses enter then give the signal to your accomplice who rings their doorbell (or cuts their mains power, depending on how serious this email is) and pretends to be canvassing the area for Labour votes (looks more realistic). Their social engineering skills have to be such that they keep the recipient busy until they have absolutely no time left to check their mail since they have to attend a dinner date that was previously arranged by you for this very purpose or acquiring said persons log in credentials. Get the break in man to go back in once the house is empty, open the keylogger, get the username and password, log into recipients email, delete the email, empty the trash bin (so many fall at this hurdle), uninstall the keylogger, shut down and out!

You're making it far too complicated. Once the victim, sorry, subject, enters their password and is distracted, the other person can then break in and delete the email. There's no need for the key-logger if they're already signed in.

That's not really an email though. It's a web link sent by email that becomes inactive. Certainly wouldn't help the OP's existing sent email or any actual email you send through your email account.

Just report that you've lost your piece of paper with your work log in details.
Amend your timesheet to show you were out of the office at the time when the email was sent.

Have a rapid affair with the IT tech and get them to reset the victim's passwords.
Have another affair with the head of IT and get them to delete the email.

Get the paper tomorrow and start applying for new jobs.
