No. Once an email leaves your outbox, ProductiveRecruit can't edit or recall it — same as any other email you've sent from Gmail. This isn't a limitation we're planning to lift; it's standard email behavior.
What you can still change
The Edit and Delete options only show up on emails that are still in Draft status. As soon as an email moves to Processing, Sent, Opened, Failed, Bounced, or Spam, both actions disappear entirely from that row's menu — you can only view it.
Here's what's available at each stage:
| Status | Edit | Delete | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| Draft | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Processing, Sent, Opened, Failed, Bounced, or Spam | No | No | Yes |
Once an email leaves Draft status — even while it's still Processing and hasn't landed yet — you can only open a read-only copy. You can't edit or delete it from your list. There's also no resend or duplicate button, so you can't quietly re-fire a corrected version under the same record.
What to do if you made a mistake
- Typo or small correction: send a short, friendly follow-up email to the same coach. It's normal and reads better than you'd think.
- Wrong attachment or link: same fix, a quick follow-up with the correct file or link.
- Not sure it even sent: check the email's status and open/click activity before assuming it needs fixing at all. See Opens, clicks & views explained.
- Haven't heard back and you're worried the mistake killed your shot — that's rarely the case. Read I haven't heard back from a coach before writing it off.
If you catch the mistake before sending, you're fine — anything still in Draft can be edited freely. Review your message on the send a single email screen before hitting send to catch typos early.
