Version: v.X Processor: Intel Email Client: pop I understand that I cannot recall a message once its been sent. Is this 'issue' going to the rectified in the near future?

Thank you.

I doubt it will ever be since it is not a standard feature for e-mails.
It's only used by certain e-mail clients.
What it does is simply to send an e-mail instructing some compatible
clients to mask the recalled message, but there is no way to wipe out
that message once it has been sent.

Thanks Corentin
But I know this works at least some of the time for for MS Outlook, why doesn't it work for Mac at all?

Well as I was saying, it has been implemented in a non standard way in
some applications (eg: Outlook).
The problem is that when you are sending an e-mail, you have no idea
what client the recipient has.
I suspect it won’t be implemented unless it becomes a standard,
universally recognized e-mail function and not an Outlokk-only "trick".

It could only work in an intranet - something you used only with other
people on your own Exchange server.Even then there are limitations. Once the
email goes out on the Internet, it can¹t be recalled.
