Total Recall

Total Recall is an email feature that allows messages sent in error to be destroyed before the recipient has a chance to open them. As long as the recipient hasn’t opened an email, the sender has an opportunity to issue a recall which then permanently deletes and destroys the error message.

The existing recall function in Microsoft Outlook, Gmail and most other email programs is a farce because it only ensures the recalled message is read and read carefully. It’s like waving a flag that says, “Read me! Read me!”. Total Recall on the other hand, totally destroys mistakenly sent messages as long as they haven’t been opened.

In the Internet age, it's easy to make mistakes and these mistakes can sometimes have far-reaching repercussions. The "Total Recall" email feature helps drastically cut the damages that they can potentially cause.
