When I said MS method is stupid your first link validates my POV. So you think notifying the recipient that you "F@#$ up" and you want to recall is  a good feature? MS method is not stealthy at all.  This just really brings attention that there is something that should not have gone out.  

If you are even attempting it with external recipient it is almost 100% that the recall will never happen. If an end-user ask me I let the user know that it does not work.  Your other two links back up that there are too many variables to successfully even recall the item.  

If you ask 100 MS Exchange admins what they think of Exchange Recall feature I bet 90 of them will feel it is a feature that is a joke.
To add to my previous comment.  

I am not bashing MS. I just feel that it is a very poor attempt.  Where as Groupwise is stealthy and can recall the message (internally) whether read or unread.  

External recalls on the other hand I think are a waste of time not matter was system is being used.  There are so many factors that come into play that a successful recall is near impossible.

Here are some screenshots showing a successful and unsuccessful attempt. So if a user knows how this works they can cause the recall to fail.  RECALL message = Waving at you "Please don't read the email I just sent because I messed up and it should never have gone out"
