Recalling a message is a mechanism that only works in PERFECT conditions. If the other side doesn't use Outlook/Exchange, or some other configuration is overriding it, it won't work.<br />
Not only doesn't it always work, the result message can be misleading too (in BOTH directions, success when it's not, but also success message when it failed).<br />
Basically, while this feature existed since forever, it was NEVER a good solution (I even dare venture it being in the 10% success rate). And actually, it's good the feature doesn't always work, otherwise you'd always have control over other ppl's mailboxes. Isn't that a scary thought?

Hi,<br />
I needed to recall a message to an outside recipient. they did not open it but the recall did not happen. I also tried sending an email internally and recalling it. this two produced no response.<br />
the sent email displays message &quot;You tried to recall this message on Wednesday, January 8th, 2020 .....&quot;<br />
This has worked in the past.<br />
thanks<br />
