Generally, you should reconcile yourself to the fact that you won’t be able to achieve this but there is an option in OWA that you can set to allow you to ‘Undo’ you send. If not, well, you might not be so concerned about message recall.There are many times when you want to recall a message you have sent in Outlook or Outlook Web Access (OWA). If you can hold off making a fool of yourself until then, the new message recall will help. Given the number of clients involved (especially Outlook desktop) and the complexity of rolling out new functionality across Office 365, it’s unlikely that we will see the new recall function much before the second quarter of 2020. The work to build a new recall function is ongoing with no committed dates. An early version of a Message Recall Request status report (image credit: Microsoft) Microsoft also promises a new aggregate message recall request report to show how successful a request is and who has managed to read a problematic message (see below figure). The new service can’t recall every message, but it is better than before and internal testing within Microsoft shows that a much higher percentage of requests are successful (from such a low base, this wouldn’t be hard). More details can be found at: A New Take on Message RecallĪt Microsoft Ignite 2019, the Exchange team discussed a possible solution to the problem using a new Outlook Recall Message service ( online recording) that clients can use to request a message recall. The success or failure of a message recall depends on the recipients’ settings in Outlook. If you’re sending a replacement message, compose the message, and then click Send.
