R ECALLING A M ESSAGE  D ISCUSSION

Outlook allows you to recall certain messages. You can recall or replace messages sent to other Outlook or Exchange users only if the user is logged on to the Exchange server and has not read or moved the message you want to recall.

When recalling a message, the default option is to delete the unread copies of the message. Another alternative is to delete the unread copy and replace the message with another message. If you select this option, Outlook opens a new Message window so that you can compose a new message to replace the original one. If you do not send a replacement message, the original message is still recalled.

Outlook sends you a notification informing you whether the message recall succeeds or fails. The notification will appear in your Inbox as a message with the subject Message Recall Success or Message Recall Failure . If you do not wish to be notified, you can deselect the notification option.

NOTE When you recall a message, a Tracking page is added to the original message in the Sent Items folder. When you recall a message, the recipient receives message with the subject Recall . If the recipient reads the recall notice before reading the original message, the recalled message will be removed from the recipient’s Inbox.
