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 option only shows up on emails that are still in Draft status. As soon as an email moves to Processing, Sent, Opened, Failed, Bounced, or Spam, the edit action disappears entirely from that row's menu.
Here's what's available at each stage:
| Status | Edit | Delete | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| Draft | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Processing | No | Yes | Yes |
| Sent / Opened | No | No | Yes |
| Failed / Bounced / Spam | No | Yes | Yes |
Once an email actually goes out and lands (Sent or Opened), you can only open a read-only copy. You can't edit it 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.
