How to determine the recall process?

The efficiency of the recall process depends on the settings of the recipient’s mailbox that how does the mailbox is configured to process the incoming message. The following are the scenario that will determine that if the recall process will delete the message from the recipient side or allow him/her to read it.

Scenario 1. When Tracking is enabled.

The Tracking feature is to automatically process the requests and responses to meeting requests and polls. Now, if the message is not read, then the original message will delete and the recipient will be informed about such deletion.

Scenario 2. When the Tracking is disabled.

When the tracking feature is not enabled, then there can be two results in the given scenario.

  • When the recipient will open the recall message, then the original message will delete and the recipient will get such information regarding the deletion.
  • When the recipient will open the original message, then the recall process will be a failure and both the original and recall message will remain in the recipient’s mailbox.

Scenario 3. When the original message is moved to another folder.

When the original message was moved to a different folder due to a rule or action, then the recall attempt will fail. The recipient will get the message that the recall attempt was failed. Now, both the recall message and the original message will reside in the mailbox in different folders.

Scenario 4. When the original and recall message is present in the same folder.

If the original and recall message is present in the same folder due to a rule or action, then two actions will occur as per the user’s behavior:

  • If the user opens the original message, then the recall attempt will fail and the recipient will get the message about the failed attempt.
  • If the user opens the recall message, then the original message will delete and the recipient will get the information about such deletion.

Scenario 5. When the message is sent to the Public Folder.

Multiple results will occur based on the user’s action:

  • If the recipient user has all the read-write access to the public folder and he/she has read the original message, then the recall attempt will fail. The sender will get the message that the attempt is failed.
  • If the recipient reads the recall message, then the recall attempt will succeed and the original message will delete. Only the recall message will remain in the public folder and the sender will receive the message about the recall success.
  • If a different user who has the access to open the Public Folder and reads the recall message, then the recall attempt will also fail and both messages will be present in the folder. Then if the recipient reads the recall message and marks it read, the recall will be successful. If the recipient reads the original message first, then the recall message will fail.

Outlook allows you to cancel (recall) messages that you have sent to other Outlook users. However, this feature is not available in OWA (Outlook Web App). This feature can be useful if you send a message and then you discover errors in the message and want to prevent the recipient from reading it. However, the Recall feature is somewhat limited due to the following reasons:

  • You can only recall messages from recipients who are currently logged onto the network and using Outlook.
  • You can only recall messages that have not been read or moved out of the recipient's Inbox.
  • When you attempt to recall a message, a recall notification appears in the recipient's Inbox and remains there while the recall process is taking place. If the recipient has the Outlook Inbox open, this notification may prompt them to immediately open the message you are attempting to recall.
  • The recall process can take several minutes, during which time the recipient can see the recall notice in their Inbox and can open and read the message you are attempting to recall.
  • Recalling a message to an address not on our Office 365 system will most likely not work.
