In Thunderbird, there's the option to "Edit As New...".

When selecting that option, I can edit the original message and send it like a new message.

How can I do the same thing in Outlook?

Note: This question is about the native Outlook Client (up to Outlook 2019). For the web client, aka "Outlook Web Access", "Outlook on the web", or "Outlook 365", see How do you "Edit As New" in Outlook Online? .

In Outlook, the functionality is named Resend This Message.
See instructions for different versions of Outlook below.

Outlook 2010

When opening a sent message, you'll find the option in the Move panel under Actions:

In a received message, you'll find the option in the Respond panel:

Either of these will open the message in a new window where you can edit the message like a new email.

Outlook 2013, 2016, and 2019

In Outlook 2013, 2016, and 2019, the action is available in the Move panel under Actions for both types of messages.

Note that the Actions menu is not available in the main Outlook window, but you must open the message by double-clicking it, and then select the action from the message's own, slightly different, ribbon.

For Outlook 2011 for Mac:

  1. Navigate to your "Sent Items" folder
  2. Highlight the message you want to "Edit as New"
  3. Click on the "Message" menu item, and select "Resend"

In Outlook on the Web (OWA), go to "Sent Items". Select a message. Within that message's ribbon, click the ยทยทยท menu ("More actions"), select "Advanced actions", and then "Resend message".

A similar story applies to Outlook 2007:

Open the sent message. Click "Other Actions" in the message's ribbon. Click "Resend this message...".
