viennaa Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 If an email containing sensitive data was sent to a hotmail account - Can this be recalled or can MS recall this? The answer I believe is no - but curious if this is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 +BudMan MVC Posted September 9, 2014 MVC Share Posted September 9, 2014 No you can not recall a message once it leaves your servers.. If your sending inter office mail on exchange, then sure its possible to recall a message if the recv has not opened it yet sort of thing. This is always hit or miss. I find it funny when seeing the recall messages ;) Ok what was in there you didn't want to send. Sending to yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc. Once it actual gets sent - you can not put the genie back in the bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Travelar Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Hehe, I recalled a message today but that was local... so cool .... like it never happened! Except for the follow-on email to the user stating that a message had been recalled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Roger H. Veteran Posted September 9, 2014 Veteran Share Posted September 9, 2014 Well no... they'll never see ANYTHING about the message being recalled on an Exchange Server and ONLY IF the message has been read then they'll get that notification. If it hasn't been read the message will be deleted from their inbox and they'll never even know it was there in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Travelar Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Well... I don't remember it working that way, but I'll take your word for it. Granted, it's been about 10 years since I ran an Exchange server, so I probably have no idea what I'm talking about at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
