Outlook recalling a message

[Guest]

Why after i have sent someone a message and they have not red it the message
has not been clicked on and then i go to my sent items and do a recall it
does not delete the original email. The 2 options that there are to a recall
i have tried each of the 2 and it does not delete the original email. I have
tested it out by sending myself emails and trying to recall them. Both users
use exchange server. How do i get it to delete the original when the email
never got read?

Are you both on the same Exchange server? Message recall works sporadically
at best.

Here's a fairly detailed account of the conditions under which Recall will
work:
