Recalling an email....

[Kelemvor]

Every so often someone at work sends out an email and then tries to Recall it. Does this ever work? I always just get two emails... One the original email and Two the Recall notice. So now I get two reminders that they are dumb and didn't proofread their emails.

Maybe if I'm logged on when they send it it doesn't work but if I'm not logge don the recall might work? hmmm.

This is with Exchange btw.

it works if the other person has not read it

And only works if its within a single MS Exchange environment.... i.e. not from one ISP to another using POP 3 accounts

Like Czar stated, it only works if the recipient has not read it...

Yes, it works... thankfully... I've had to recall a few in my day... haha

I found out that showing up at the person's office with a baseball bat and words "If you ever speak of this I'll break your knees" works better than any recall function.
