Please add the resend email functionality back into the new version of Outlook. This feature is utilized by myself and my team all the time, as each week we make minor changes to the previous weeks emails. I don't want to forward each week's email every time, I just want to hit resend, make any necessary changes, and then send the current updated email only. Not keeping that feature in the new Outlook was a big mistake...

    The support page says it's possible but when going into the application and following the steps this option is not present.

    You are right, I have seen the instructions, but there's no RESEND option neither in Web app, nor in new Outlook.

    Interestingly it now appears on Outlook Android mobile app. Hooray!

    You go to "three dots" message menu and there's Resend option.

    Adding my request to the list. I use this function almost daily, at a minimum weekly for similar use as the original poster.

    Microsoft Team,

    Help me understand this situation. So, you have released the 'NEW OUTLOOK' client, and this thread has been begging you to add this very helpful feature back into your product and I have seen other threads going back to Jan. 2021. So please be transparent and tell us whether this feature "Resend Email" will be added in to the "New Outlook". I work with developer teams and these types of requests should be listed in your DevOps User Stories or as a future feature. A simple inquiry to the development team to find out if it is even listed as a feature/priority in future development for this ever-worsening/devolving product that you are peddling. I am stuck having to use this version as we have been forced onto this "new" platform as nobody informed our email team that this product IS STILL IN PREVIEW. Seriously please answer this question! When will we get the needed old functionality to be able to RESEND an email from my "Sent Items" folder? Please quit saying you will pass this along and find someone who will ask them WHEN WE CAN EXPECT this functionality into your New-PreRelease-half-baked-Outlook client?

    Thank you--John R

    Do you know what's really funny? The option to resend has been available in New Outlook for Mac from the inception.
