Not directly! Once you send an email, it resides on the recipient's ISP's
server and if the recipient has downlpaded his email message, it resides on
the recipient's computer (and alsp may still reside on the ISP's server).
Your only chance is to call the recipient's ISP and ask if the recipient has
downloaded hos email. If noy, ask the ISP to delete the email from the
server.

You really do not know how things.
The request was titled Outlook Express and posted in a newsgroup and refers
to a message.
What you describe is the generic description of email. What you should be
describing is how a newsgroup post works. Of course, you still do not
understand the free nature of newsgroups and still continue to pimp your
questionable services, contrary to the nature of the group.
For now, newsgroups are posted on a server and individuals subscribe to the
newsgroups on that server. When they need the latest posts, they ask the
server and it sends the individual posts to his/her computer. In addition to
individuals, other ISPs can mirror the information and occassionally
reformat the information so that they appear to be the originator of the
content and gain revenue by adding ads. Other individuals can then subscribe
to these secondary sites to read and post newsgroup messages. That is why it
is hard to kill a newsgroup. To do so requires killing the original site and
all the mirrored sites.
So the general route of an email is:
1) The user downloads the newsgroup posts from a provider by using something
like Outlook Express
2) The user reads the posts
3) When a user replies to a post or creates a new post it is stored in the
Outbox on the local PC
4) The next time a user requests a refresh, the posts in the Outbox are then
sent to their ISP and then to the server they are dealing with. This may be
days after the user pressed send on their message.
5) Other sites constantly update their message stores with the content.
As to the actual request for killing posts, the easiest way is to do it
before step 4. Once step 4 happens, killing a post is almost impossible.
Due to various reasons, local ISPs are stopping to mirror newsgroups.
Eventually sites like Microsft will stop hosting newsgroups in favour of
forums where they have better control over content and can prevent spammers
like you from abusing posters.

No. It's on the recipient's computer, or computers. If they choose to delete
it, fine, if not it's too late.
