Really, reeeaaally useless.<\/p>\n
So, you’ve screwed the pooch and accidentally sent that email “Reply to ALL” instead of just your one chum, and your snarkiness is going to get you canned. “Wait!” you exclaim, “I’ll use Message Recall!!” You clickety-clickey over to Sent Items, locate the offending career-ender, right-click and choose “Recall message”. Nothing to it, Bob’s yer uncle, day saved, wot?<\/p>\n
Not so much.<\/p>\n
You see, the stars, moons and planets have to be just exactly<\/em> aligned for this to work. If the end user is fast on the draw and reads it before you recall, it won’t work. (Duh, the damage is done at that point anyway.) If they have a rule that automatically moves your emails out of the inbox, it fails. If they check their email through OWA, it fails. If they get it on their mobile phone\/tablet\/whatever, you’re probably toast. (The butter’s on the counter over there, would you mind?)<\/p>\n Even if it actually does<\/em> manage to work, do you know what it really does? It deletes the email.<\/p>\n “Sweet!!” you say, “That’s just what I wanted!”<\/p>\n Except, of course, that deleted emails go to the Deleted items folder. Unread. Subject line in bold<\/strong>, just waiting for the CEO to glance over and see that “Deleted Items (1)<\/strong>” on the left and think “Hmm, what’s this then?”<\/p>\n Yep. That’s him, yelling your name down the hallway right now. Might as well start packing your desk.<\/p>\n Can I have your stapler?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Really, reeeaaally useless.
