It has nothing to do with Microsoft. It's the way email has worked for
decades.
You could have been using Unix or a Mac, it would have done the same thing.

I was fired for sending the email to the wrong person. Now I am facing civil
and possible criminal charges. Great how Windows/Microsoft looks ahead to
protect its clientele from unintentional mistakes.

As far as I know, recall is only available when both the sender and
recipient use Outlook through the same Exchange server.

I sent 2 versions of an email. I want to recall one of them. I have

capability at work but I can't find it on the windows mail from Vista.
Please help.

It really has nothing to do with Microsoft - you are
talking about email. Email is not owned by Microsoft.
If you snail-mailed a letter, there is no guarantee
that it could be recalled.

Have you discovered any way to retract a bullet
once fired by accident? I bet lots of people that
thought a gun was empty, would like to.

You obviously have a lot to learn about how email works.
Instead of blaming others for your mistake, you should own up to
it and view it as a hard-learned lesson.

Aside from all that posted and gave you the right answer you could not have done
what you wanted unless you had the Exchange Server installed which your previous
employer probably had and you did not do a recall at the time
