Users need to think of sending a message the same as a fax or phone call. Just make sure you want to do it before you hit “transmit”.

If someone makes a dumb mistake they just need to live with it.

Exchange recall should be a feature admins hide. It’s useless and creates more embarrassment for users…

My two cents.

The GOOD thing is that even as a Domain Administrator, by default, I don’t have access to mailboxes unless I give myself access to the mailbox or it is delegated to me.

if the user trying to delete is an exchange admin then they can do a “File > Open > Other user’s folder” to open the inbox of the other person and delete it without having to login as the user but as Mrdenny said this is unethical and should be preceded with a written order to do so by an executive.

I’ve added this to my watch list, becasue I believe there isn’t a way to do this— I’ve looked. I’m hopeful to learn a way, but I do know teh outlook recall function is a “best effort” at best on the mail server’s part, and there isn’t a RFC for the SMTP protocal that I know of that covers this, most are basically “Email message = Deliver as soon as possible” in logic and thinking.
