6. If you don’t see the Recall This Message option, you probably don’t have an Exchange account or the feature isn’t available within your organization.

7. Click Delete unread copies of this message or Delete unread copies and replace with a new message, then click OK. You can also choose to be notified if the recall succeeds or fails, I recommend to check-mark this option.
