Outlook Recall will only work if you and the recipients are:īoth on Office 365 and within the same organization.īoth using Microsoft Exchange and are within the same organization. Important Limitations on the Outlook Recall Feature: The Outlook “ Recall” feature allows you to either delete the Email entirely from the recipients inboxes, or resend it with a corrected version that contains updated information. Luckily, if you work in an office that uses Microsoft Outlook (which is by far the most widely used corporate Email system), you have the ability to “ Recall” an Email message. This issue can be even more significant (and potentially embarrassing) if you send the message out to a large number of people, or even to a large distribution list. Or maybe you sent out something when you were upset that you know realize isn’t appropriate and contains some wordings you now regret. Perhaps you forgot to include an attachment, and want to retract the message, and send a replacement message that has the necessary attachment.
You may have hit “ Reply All” when you didn’t intend to, and now want to remove those Emails from all the extra people’s Inboxes.
We send out an Email, only to realize just after you hit “Send” that it contains incorrect information or perhaps something that on second thought you now regret putting in the Email.
