Hi there, this is because Outlook's recall feature works by sending a request to the recipient's inbox to delete the original email. If the recipient's settings allow it, the original message is deleted automatically. However, the notification is a part of how the recall feature operates in Outlook, and it informs the recipient of your attempt to retract the email. This process is not discreet and the recipient will be aware that a recall was attempted.

Hi, it'll only take a few seconds to get a notification no matter the recall worked or not.

Hi there, did you check the option: Tell me if recall succeeds or fails for each recipient
