That tells them that your initial email is incorrect or invalid for some reason. Though the initial email won't be deleted, the recipient receives a follow-up message indicating that you want to recall the previous email. However, even if you and the recipient use different email clients or backend systems, or you fail to recall the message before it's been read, the recall feature can still serve a purpose. The email must have been delivered to the recipient's mail server but it must not have been read yet. For your recalled message to be deleted, both you and the recipient must have a Microsoft 365 Business account or Microsoft Exchange email account in the same organization, meaning the same Exchange system on the backend. There are some requirements if the recall feature is to work properly.

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.
