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:
-
In the folder pane, go to your Sent Items and select the message to be resent.
-
Select the [...] icon to see more available options.
