If the recall message and the original message exist in separate folders, the recipient receives a message that states a recall attempt failed.

Sometimes, the option is listed but does not work if Outlook is not using Microsoft Exchange. Note: The email type must say “Exchange,” or you cannot properly recall any email messages. Find the correct email under the “Name” column and view the email account details found under the “Type” column.In the pop-up settings menu, click on the “Email” tab if not already selected.Choose “Account Settings” from the dropdown list.Select “Account Settings” on the right pane.
