Once I\u2019ve covered how to resend an email in Gmail, I\u2019ll also show you how to do it in Outlook<\/a>. Then, I\u2019ll go over some reasons for resending emails<\/a> and share four handy tips<\/a> to help ensure that your re-sent emails are successful.<\/p>\n Further Reading:<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n (Click on links to jump to specific sections)<\/p>\n Let\u2019s jump right into it.<\/p>\n There are mainly four<\/b> ways to resend an email in Gmail:<\/p>\n First, I\u2019ll walk you through how to resend emails in Gmail using its Compose<\/i> feature.<\/p>\n One way to resend an email is to copy the original message to a New Message<\/i> window and then send it as a brand new email.<\/p>\n Follow these steps to resend emails this way:<\/p>\n Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Alternatively, you can just skip step 2 and use the search bar directly from your inbox.<\/p>\n Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 Note:<\/i><\/b> Until you click<\/i> the Send <\/i><\/b>button<\/i>, the <\/i>message<\/i> will remain in the<\/i> Drafts<\/i><\/b> folder<\/i>.<\/i><\/p>\n Simple enough, right? What about any attachments? And that\u2019s another limitation<\/b> of using the Compose<\/i> feature to resend emails. You\u2019ll have to manually add and upload any attachments<\/a> when drafting your email to resend.<\/p>\n Next, I\u2019ll show you how to resend emails using the Gmail Reply<\/i> feature.<\/p>\n Follow these steps to resend Gmail emails using the Reply<\/i> feature:<\/p>\n Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 Like the Compose<\/i> method, you\u2019ll need to include attachments manually<\/b> when resending emails using the Reply<\/i> feature.<\/p>\n Go back to Contents<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n Next, I\u2019ll cover how you can resend Gmail emails using the Forward <\/b>feature.<\/p>\n Using Gmail\u2019s Forward <\/b>emails feature is the easiest way to resend emails with attachments.<\/p>\n Here are the steps for resending emails as forwarded messages:<\/p>\n Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 This way, all attachments <\/b>from the previous email are automatically<\/b> included with the forwarded messages.<\/p>\n However, there are a few caveats:<\/p>\n What if you want to <\/b>resend<\/b> specific emails<\/b> to <\/b>multiple recipients<\/b> over some time? It\u2019s too much of a hassle to comb through the Sent<\/b> folder when you\u2019re looking for specific emails to resend.<\/p>\n Fortunately, Gmail users can create email templates to reuse in the future. Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Once you\u2019ve enabled Templates<\/i> (also known as canned responses), you can save<\/b> a composed message as a template to reuse in the future.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s how you can save a message as a template:<\/p>\n Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 After you\u2019ve saved a template, you can easily reuse it in your next email.<\/p>\n To use a template to resend an email, just follow these steps:<\/p>\n Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Note: <\/i><\/b>You can save up to 50 templates without downloading any third-party extension or switching <\/i>email clients<\/i>.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n There you have it \u2014 four ways to resend emails in the Gmail app!<\/p>\n Go back to Contents<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n Now, I\u2019ll show you how you can resend an email in Microsoft Outlook.<\/p>\n Resending emails in Microsoft Outlook is quite similar to doing it with a Gmail account.<\/p>\n You can either copy-paste the original content to a new email or use Reply<\/b>\/Forward<\/b> from the Reply <\/i>option menu to resend emails. Since the copy-paste method is pretty straightforward, let\u2019s see how to use Outlook\u2019s Reply or Forward feature to resend emails.<\/p>\n Note:<\/i><\/b> The steps are nearly the same whether you\u2019re using <\/i>Outlook<\/i> for Mac, Windows, or the mobile <\/i>app<\/i>.<\/i><\/p>\n Here\u2019s how to resend emails using Outlook\u2019s Reply<\/i> option or Forward<\/i> feature:<\/p>\n Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Note:<\/i><\/b> You can also click <\/i>Reply<\/i><\/b> and proceed with the same steps. However, you\u2019ll have to <\/i>manually<\/i><\/b> add attachments if you\u2019re using the <\/i>Reply<\/i> feature<\/i> to <\/i>resend<\/i> emails<\/i>.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n Step 5 Step 6 As I\u2019d mentioned above, you can also resend an email in Outlook the old-fashioned way \u2014 using the copy-paste functions.<\/p>\n Copy-paste the body of the email you\u2019ve sent to a New Message<\/b> body, attach files and add new recipients manually. Then, just resend your email the same way you send a brand new message.<\/p>\n Go back to Contents<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n If you\u2019re still unsure about how these techniques can help you, I\u2019ll cover a few reasons for resending emails next.<\/p>\n Whether you use Gmail or Outlook\u2019s email service, you\u2019ll want to resend an email at some point. It could be a registration confirmation email, a verification email, or an older email campaign that you\u2019re resending.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a closer look at why you might want<\/b> to resend emails:<\/p>\n Let\u2019s say your last campaign for a product worked well, and you want to approach another set of people on your mailing list with the same message.<\/p>\n Resending an email is easier than creating the same <\/b>message<\/b> from scratch.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n You could simply reuse a template<\/a> from older emails or campaigns and save a ton of time. Similarly, resending an email is an easier way to remind someone about something than drafting an entirely new email message for them.<\/p>\n Whether you send promotional emails or casual email messages, you\u2019ve probably been in situations when the recipients missed your original email altogether.<\/p>\n In such cases, resending emails to those recipients who haven\u2019t opened your older emails presents another opportunity to engage<\/b> with them.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re an email marketer and recipients have unread copies of your emails in their mailbox, resending a mail may increase your chances of getting their attention.<\/p>\n Note: <\/i><\/b>Remember not to spam the recipients with your <\/i>emails<\/i> as it can lower your <\/i>sender reputation<\/i><\/a> and <\/i>email deliverability<\/i><\/a>. This can lead to <\/i>all <\/i><\/b>your <\/i>emails<\/i> ending up in their spam <\/i>folder<\/i>.<\/i><\/p>\n Go back to Contents<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n But remember, resending an email doesn\u2019t guarantee<\/b> that your recipient will open it. To help you boost engagement, I\u2019ll highlight some ways you can improve the effectiveness of your re-sent emails.<\/p>\n To ensure that your recipients open your emails the second time around, you may need to consider a few things:<\/p>\n Your subject line is the first <\/b>thing your recipient will see, so it has to be perfect.<\/p>\n For effective emails, opt for simple, concise subject lines that draw the reader into your message.<\/p>\n But finding a subject line you like isn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re running an email marketing campaign, it makes sense to run A\/B tests<\/b><\/a> where you test different subject lines on your audience.<\/p>\n For example, you can send an email with the subject line \u201cincrease your reach on Facebook\u201d to one segment of your mailing list. And send the same email with the subject line \u201cGet more customers through Facebook\u201d to the other.<\/p>\n You can then compare how both emails performed to determine which subject line had better traction.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for some sample subject lines to use, check out my article on <\/i><\/b>43 great cold email subject lines.<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n It\u2019s essential to consider the time <\/b>of day you\u2019re sending your email because timing plays a huge role in email engagement.<\/p>\n If your first email didn\u2019t get the response you wanted, consider sending it at a different time. Some research suggests weekends are great for sending emails<\/a>, while other studies show that early morning or late night on weekdays <\/a>are ideal.<\/p>\n Although there is a lot of contradictory information out there as to what the perfect time is, you can find the time that suits your mailing list best.<\/p>\n How? For example, you could send emails to half your mailing list on the weekend and send emails to the other half during the week. Based on each group\u2019s engagement, you can determine whether weekends or weekdays are best for sending future emails.<\/p>\n Technically, this isn\u2019t a tip on resending emails, but it\u2019s still crucial.<\/p>\n Too many people jump the gun when it comes to following up on an email. They don\u2019t receive a response within 24 hours and assume the recipient has missed it. They then proceed to shoot them another email.<\/p>\n A good rule of thumb is to wait about three days<\/b> before resending an email. Most people respond to emails by this time. And if you still haven\u2019t received a response or a read receipt notification (if you have a Google Workspace business account), a follow-up might make sense.<\/p>\n The problem with resending emails is that you might have to send multiple messages at the same time.<\/p>\n And when you have to test different subject lines and sending times, forward multiple emails, and keep track of when you\u2019ve sent emails, it can all seem very daunting.<\/p>\n That\u2019s why it makes sense to use a dedicated email tool like GMass<\/b><\/a> to simplify the process.<\/p>\n GMass<\/b> is an email outreach platform that works inside <\/b>Gmail<\/b>. Its superior mail merge features and ease-of-use make it a popular tool with employees in large companies like Google and Uber and social media giants like Twitter and LinkedIn.<\/p>\n The tool is also a perfect fit for solopreneurs, small businesses, and even churches<\/a> to send emails to their target audience.<\/p>\n To get started with GMass, just download the <\/b>Chrome extension<\/b><\/a> and sign up with your Gmail account.<\/p>\n With this mail merge tool, each email you send automatically <\/b>goes into the Templates<\/i> drop-down menu, which you can access from the GMass Settings<\/i> window.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s how simple it\u2019s to load, filter, edit and manage GMass\u2019 campaign templates<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n Here\u2019s how to load a template in GMass:<\/p>\n Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 But what if you have a lot of templates saved? Here\u2019s how easy it is to filter your GMass templates:<\/p>\n Step 1 Step 2 You can easily edit a template by modifying the email in the Subject<\/i> or Message<\/i> area.<\/p>\n Alternatively, click the HTML<\/b> option to edit the HTML code behind the campaign if you want more control.<\/p>\n This way, you can add design elements to your emails that the Gmail<\/i> Compose<\/i> tools might not support (for example, HTML tables).<\/p>\n Interested in learning more about handling HTML message parts in your email? You can easily manage which campaigns show up in the Templates<\/i> drop-down.<\/p>\n Simply go to the Templates<\/i> section of the dashboard and uncheck any saved templates you don\u2019t want to see.<\/p>\n That\u2019s not all.<\/p>\n Here are some more ways GMass helps you:<\/p>\n Note:<\/i><\/b> The mobile <\/i>app<\/i> add-on is currently not available for iOS (<\/i>iPhone<\/i> and <\/i>iPad<\/i>).<\/i><\/p>\n\n
