Editing a sent email is generally not possible, but you can still act quickly. First, check if your email provider allows you to unsend the email (e.g., Gmail has an undo send feature for a limited time). Once recalled, you can edit and resend it. If the email is already sent, send a follow-up email clarifying the changes or corrections needed.
