There are probably times when you have sent an e-mail message, wishing you had not. If you have a Microsoft Exchange Server e-mail account, you can take advantage of the recall feature in such situations. For example, if you mistakenly send a message to the wrong recipient, you can recall it.
To recall a message in Outlook 2007:
- Click the Sent message folder.
- Open the message you want to recall.
- On the Message tab, in the Actions group, click Other Actions.
- Click Recall This Message.
- Click Delete unread copies of this message.
- Click OK.

Don’t forget it has to be unread first. If they’ve read it…too late!

Unfortunately this only works if one keeps a sent copy of the original message.

It basically sucks! Most people read their email in the order that it was received, therefore, they’d read the original message first. Then later they get the recalled message.
Its very confusing to most people as they think that recall means just that. What it really means is, “Read what I said, then I’ll tell you to ignore it.”
Another poorly designed Microsoft product.

does the Recall function work outside the Organization? regardless of e-mail client.
