Solution: Think and re-read before you send.

Recall will only be success full if:

The recipient uses Outlook and Outlook is running
The recipient's mailbox must be open for the recall to success

Message Recall will not be successful if:
The recipient is not using Outlook
The recipient is not logged on to the mail service provider
The message has been read

Perhaps her Outlook has to be running in order for the Request to process. If she's out of the office with the computer off, there is no client app running to process your recall request. I don't get the impression that the recall is done at the server level.

we have outlook 2007. Sent a message to 5 internal people – got back 2 successful, 2 failed, the other, zip, nada, nothing:-(( Any idea why not? We'd like to get it back – her mother died and we accidentally inculded her in the flower-note. No big deal, but it's frustrating. She's on the same server as us, same version as us, and no-way has she opened it up yet, but even if she had, we would have gotten the “failed” message. Didn't do the replace option at first, but when we tried that route, still nothing from her email

It should be noted that this only works in very limited circumstances:

- It will not work on email sent outside your organization;
- It only works in internal systems and for those using Microsoft Outlook in that internal system;
- On the recipient's install of Outlook, in Tracking Options, Process requests and responses on arrival must be selected.
- the original message must be unread.

And, even if it is successful, the recipient gets informed that you deleted the message from his or her mailbox, perhaps making them even more curious than they would have been otherwise.
