Helping people with computers... one answer at a time.
Once you hit that "send" button, there is no way to stop your email from being sent, even if it's to the wrong person.
I wrote an email from my yahoo email account and sent to the wrong email address in Europe. Is it any way that I can retrieve the email I sent from the wrong email address, delete it before the wrong recipient can read my email?

Unfortunately, the news is not good.

The answer is quite simply, "no". Once it's sent, it's sent.
The thing to remember here is that once an email leaves your outbox, you lose all control over it. And I do mean all control over it. You cannot stop it, nor can you change it. You cannot track whether it's been read or not. You cannot tell if it's been forwarded or deleted. You can't even know whether it's been received at all unless you hear from the recipient.
So the moral of the story is simple: make sure you really mean it when you hit "Send".

I know of one way to "unsend" an email. You obviously know the persons email address, just guess their password to log into their mail server and delete it before they open it. Note that some obstinate prosecutors and judges may dream up some silly reason to throw you in jail for this, but theoretically this would work.
