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
- Hi everyone.
I had same problem. So, i change to old out look and use it.
Hope to improve from Microsoft.
Have good day. - I use Windows and also moved to the new Outlook because I got a Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 and it only works with the new Outlook and it certainly is very missed feature; I used it a lot.
I also cannot find where to replicate the rules I had in previous version. - Everyone, please go and vote the feature request: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/132b330d-3663-ee11-a81c-000d3ae46fcb
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.
Meenakshi17856 Just tried the upgrade to the New Outlook on my Windows Desktop. Didn't find a Resend option. Thankfully was able to toggle to the old version and it switched back really fast.
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.
- 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
- 'Resend This Message' is missing from Windows version as well...
- From which Windows version?

Meenakshi17856 Have you realized that you can re-send a message on new Outlook for Mac if the message stays in "sent" box? If you once move the message from "sent" to archive etc. and bring it back to "sent", you can no longer re-send it, but as far as the message stays in the "sent" box, you can click that message and click "Message" from the menu bar, then "Resend" shows up as the 5th option. (I am not satisfied, though. I usually move messages from "in" or "sent" to other folders to organize them within a day.)
GeniusSDBRI you must be on the old version of Outlook for Mac, as the new version doesn't allow messages to be resent, as you can see from the screenshot below.
BenchmarkGraphics My Outlook for Mac is v16.59. As I wrote before, "resend" is available only for messages that have stayed in "sent" box.
- What were they thinking to delete this from the mac outlook?????
- I agree. I can't tell you how angry this makes me. I send out emails to large groups and it is an incredible inconvenience not to have this simple function.
C_Robertson Why on earth would Microsoft remove useful features from the new version of Outlook?
This isn't the only feature. In the old version, you could select a list of filtered emails, sort by sender, right click the heading and delete all the messages. This was quite useful. Not a thing anymore. Who randomly decides to remove time-tested features? Also, no indication as to where one can check for the current version or apply updates. You can find the version in Settings > General > About Outlook but there is no indication as to whether the version is current.The new version uses less resources but the lack of long-standing features is not a good move.
- 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
