If one or more recipients do not get an email message you have sent, you can use the Resend message command. This command also lets you send your message to additional recipients if needed.

Note: A resent email will include only the previously sent message with no added information. This differs from a forwarded message which will also include the previous header information (sender, date, and recipients).

To prepare to resend an email in new Outlook, take these steps:

  1. In the folder pane, go to your Sent Items and select the message to be resent.

  2. Select the [...] icon to see more available options.

  3. Go to Advanced actions > Resend message.Resend message on new and web versions of Outlook.

  4. In the presented email to be resent, complete the following actions, as needed:

  • Remove those who don't need to receive the message again

  • Add new recipients

  • Add or remove attachments

  • Change the contents of the message

  • Select Send

Important: To resend multiple messages, you must repeat these instructions for each message. You can only resend one message at a time.

Note: The resend feature is only available in new Outlook when the primary account is a Microsoft 365 work account. Personal accounts will not see this option.
