New OUTLOOK - RESEND OF EMAIL - OPTION NOT POSSIBLE
In the NEW OUTLOOK – resend of already sent email is not possible why? In Older version of Out Look resend of already sent email was possible, and also when the resend is clicked the send email opens up – so that any changes in email already sent, is needed can be made or altered – this is an excellent option. Hence I request you to re-introduce RESEND Option ( one the resend is clicked the already sent message should not go automictically, manual sending option to be given – so that any changes need to make in the already sent email is corrected , and then manually I can send the email . Thank you, Regards, Meenakshi, Mumbai, India
Meenakshi17856 I'm having the same problem.
On the "Old" Outlook for Mac, here's the -Resend- option (Screenshot)
On the "New" Outlook, that option is not there, as per below image:
Why would they cut out this very useful feature?
- Have the same problem.
I was forced to change to New Outlook for Mac because I had no support for smime on my updated Outlook for Mac version 16.47.
Now I lost the RESEND action.
It was very useful because I reuse many of previous answers to my clients.
Now the option is a lot of time consuming Copy Past for each new answer...
It is not improving...I agree, this is exactly the reason why I don't use the 'New Outlook'... I tried it and liked it, but I like my 'Resend' button more 🙂 LuisCosta
- Can't believe the Mac version STILL doesn't have the resend feature!
Although I shouldn't be surprised, the Mac version is so buggy, it doesn't even display correctly at times - I'm disappointed. I use the resend button often, it's one of the most used features of outlook in my case. bring it back
- We also have the same problem here at work. I really like / prefer the New Outlook for Mac and how seamlessly it compares to the O365 webmail version as well. However the lack of the resend message option is problematic for us. This is an incredibly useful function (which I feel is often back-burnered / not given the priority it deserves - it took Mac forever to add this option to it's Mail app for example) - please consider adding it back as soon as feasible. Thank you.
Meenakshi17856 well they are finally acknowledging that it is missing and now hopefully fixing it...
- Many thanks for this useful information!
Hope they do reintroduce it soon.
The times I already had to forward and delete header today for just resending similar emails...

Luis JSaltzRookie Elon Musk can invent the first EV car company AND launch reusable rockets AND go to mars ALL AT THE SAME TIME, but legacy Microsoft STILL can't make the "newer, better" version of Outlook for Mac do what the old version did after a WHOLE YEAR? Frustrating...smh
jasongilbert Great point. I have come to understand Microsoft is like the government. They have lots of money and sometimes they do good things, but they are very slow to make changes. I cannot believe that for about 2 years this feature has not been available.
- I too refuse to use the new Outlook for Mac because it's missing this valuable function. Having said that, the old Outlook has a terrible Search. Yesterday a VIP client emailed me from her gmail and it did not get to me. Arrived in the trash, actually, so I never saw it. But it is there in the new Outlook - but since I don't use it yet, I MISSED IT. I cannot wait to use the new Outlook and i hope it's not stripped of other important features.
- 'Resend This Message' is missing from Windows version as well...
- From which Windows version?
- Win 10 pro 22H2 with MS 365 apps for business.
This is an incredibly frustrating loss of functionality. It could not have been a very large feature that needed to be removed. It also seems the Recall feature (even if it didn't always work as some intended) is also missing.
I can't believe it. Outlook should be a productivity tool. Without the resend function, it is far from that.
We don't need bling bling, we need a work horse.

hannulohi Running latest version of "current channel" Outlook on Mac (version info below). in New Outlook mode.
I see that for messages in the "Sent" folder, the Resend context menu is there. For messages that I previously sent, that are moved to some other folder, the option is not there.
Screen caps below.
Jim_Denaro Your screenshot appears to be from the current version of Outlook. The OP was referring to "New Outlook". The menu items are different. The "resend" option doesn't exist yet in the Windows version of New Outlook yet either.
