When you're writing an email message in classic Outlook, you can undo a previous action or actions:

  • On your keyboard, press Ctrl+Z, or select Outlook Undo Icon small  Undo in the upper-left corner of the message.

Tip: To redo, press Ctrl+Y or select the down arrow next to the Undo icon and choose Outlook Redo icon small
  Redo.

By default, classic Outlook saves the last 100 undoable actions. Some actions, such as turning on the Bcc field, can't be undone by this method. If you can't undo an action, the Undo command changes to Can't Undo.

For more info, see Undo, redo, or repeat an action.
