The recipient has the option of declining the sending of receipts, and not all email programs support delivery and read receipts, so it’s best to use these only when necessary and when you know the recipient has the capability of sending receipts–like when your recipient is a colleague and you’re both using Outlook with Exchange. Delivery receipts will indicate that your email was or wasn’t delivered to the recipient’s mailbox it will show you that the message reached their email server, but doesn’t necessarily mean it’s in the user’s inbox.

The difference between delivery receipts and read receipts Read receipts will indicate whether the email was opened, and are sent directly from the user who opens the email. The video above shows these methods, and you can also find instructions below. Outlook provides the capability to track emails and get delivery and read receipts for all emails you send and for single messages. But if you have an important message it can be useful to know whether the message has been delivered and/or read. If we get a response, that usually suffices. The Ultimate Guide to Office 365 Most of us spend our days firing off emails without much consideration for how or when they are delivered. If the recipient uses an email client that supports responding to read receipts, you should receive notification when the message is read or deleted unread, provided it's not filtered out by antispam software. If the server doesn't support returning receipts, Office 365 generates a message that the message was handed off to the server and Office 365 doesn't know what happened to it. Delivery receipts, if supported, will tell you the message made it to the recipient's mailbox.

A 'deleted unread' receipt tells you that the recipient deleted a copy of the message without marking it Read, it does not guarantee they didn't read it without marking it read. If the recipient reads it using a client that does not support receipts or has an option to not return receipts, you won't get one back. The read receipt only tells you that the recipient marked the message read. Neither receipt option will guarantee you that the message was placed in the Inbox or read.

Read receipt: send a notification mail when email has been opened by the recipient Not all email clients can return read receipts and recipients usually have the option to not return one.

Delivery receipt: send a notification mail when the email has been delivered to the mailbox.
