If you’re sending a replacement message, compose the message, and then click Send.
Message recall is available after you click Send and is available only if both you and the recipient have a Microsoft 365 or Microsoft Exchange email account in the same organization. For example, if you forgot to include an attachment, you can try to retract the message, and then send a replacement message that has the attachment. You can also substitute a replacement message.
The Office 365 dev team also wants to enhance the way emails secured using the Office 365 Message Encryption (OME) service are seen by mail servers so that they're less likely to be marked as spam and sent straight to the Trash folder.With message recall, a message that you sent is retrieved from the mailboxes of the recipients who haven’t yet opened it. Microsoft also works on developing a feature dubbed 'Unverified Sender' that would help users identify potential spam or phishing emails that reach their Outlook client's inbox a lot easier. This could lead to an accidental Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) taking down some of the email servers delivering the exchanged replies. Reply-All storms (aka reply-allpocalypses) are huge chain reaction sequences of emails started by one of the members of a large email distribution list who replies to the entire list using the "Reply All" feature. In related news, Redmond is planning to add protection against Reply-All email storms in Exchange Online during Q3 2020, which is an issue impacting Office 365 customers that are members of improperly locked down mail distribution lists. Microsoft also intends to provide Office 365 customers who will use Message Recall with an aggregate message recall status report that will make it a lot easier to know exactly what emails were successfully retrieved and which weren't. "With millions of users with mailboxes in Office 365, we're now able to improve upon that feature by performing the recall directly in the cloud in Office 365 mailboxes, so it doesn't matter which email client the recipient uses, the recall takes place in their Office 365 mailbox, and when their client syncs their mail, the message is gone." Part of the problem is that the recall is client-based, and the recall can only happen if the recipient also uses Outlook," says the planned feature's Microsoft 365 roadmap entry.

"The Outlook for Windows Message Recall feature is extremely popular with users, yet it doesn't always work so well. Microsoft is planning to add the highly popular Message Recall feature among Outlook for Windows users to the Exchange Online hosted cloud email service for businesses.Īfter its rollout to all Office 265 environments during Q4 2020, the Exchange Online Message Recall feature will allow users of Microsoft's cloud email to retrieve messages their recipients haven't yet opened regardless of the email client they use.
