The Recall feature only works within an Exchange environment and even then there are restrictions to whether it will work or not. This however requires you to talk to your Exchange administrator and/or Compliance Officer as these aren’t end-user features.
If you need something that works reliably, there are Exchange level features such as In-Place eDiscovery ( Compliance Search) to really clean up a messy situation. Under the wrong circumstances, it can have the opposite effect as discussed in Recall a sent message (and why it will probably fail). It is basically just a helpful end-user tool to mask some honest mistakes under the right circumstances. The Recall This Message feature isn't a perfect cover-up and neither was it intended to be. Disclaimer: Recall This Message comes without warranty. Laws are different in every country so I'll just stick to a small disclaimer about the feature itself and then show you how you can still get back the recalled message. Is there any way I can still get this message back?Īh, the “Recall This Message” feature… It’s been the topic of many endless corporate discussions about to what extent it is legally allowed to have this feature and how to handle it. I’ve found out that it was recalled by the sender but I don't think it should have been for reasons I won't go into here. I received an interesting message which I wanted to read later so I've let it Unread but now it is gone.
