Answer 1

Hi @Sabarish Natarajan ,

Based on my research, I haven't found any time limits in the conditions of how to recall message successfully.

For your questions, I tried to perform some relevant tests with 2 Microsoft 365 account on Outlook to confirm it.

• find earlier messages 9 days ago in the recipient's inbox
• due to it has been read and the recall function requires unread message, I mark the message as unread
  
• check it could meet other conditions to recall successfully
• log in to sender's mailbox, recall the message in sent folder
• it could be recalled normally in this case
  

Due to we could recall an earlier message normally, I think the sending time of message may not affect if the message could be recalled, and the key to a successful recall is to meet those restrictions in the above article.

Hope that would be helpful to you.
