How to Resend a Message in Mac OS X Mail

By , About.com Guide

Whether you want to send a message to another recipient, whether you have used the wrong account to deliver it, whether message delivery has failed and you want to try again, resending a message is often useful. In Mac OS X Mail, it is particularly easy, too.

Resend a Message in Mac OS X Mail

To send a message (it must not even be your own) again in Mac OS X Mail:

  • Highlight the message in the Sent folder (or any other folder, of course).
  • Select Message | Send Again from the menu (or press Command-Shift-D).
    • In Mac OS X Mail 1.x, select File | Open As New Message from the menu.
  • Edit the message and send it (again) as you would with any new message.
