Can i put a read recipt on windows mail

Windows Mail is a legacy email client that was included with Windows Vista and Windows 7. It's no longer supported by Microsoft, and it's not compatible with modern email protocols.

However, you can use a third-party email client that supports read receipts to achieve similar functionality. Here are a few options:

  1. Mozilla Thunderbird: This is a free, open-source email client that supports read receipts. You can download and install it from the Mozilla website.
  2. Microsoft Outlook: If you have a Microsoft account, you can use the Outlook web app or the desktop version of Outlook to send and receive emails with read receipts. Outlook supports read receipts for both personal and business accounts.
  3. Gmail: If you use Gmail, you can enable read receipts for specific emails or for all emails in your account. To do this, go to the Gmail settings, click on the "General" tab, and select "Enable read receipts" under the "Sending" section.
  4. Other email clients: There are many other email clients that support read receipts, such as Apple Mail, Airmail, and Spark. You can search for email clients that support read receipts and download the one that best fits your needs.

To use a read receipt in any of these email clients, you'll typically need to:

  1. Enable read receipts in your email client's settings.
  2. Compose an email as you normally would.
  3. Check the box next to "Request read receipt" or "Send read receipt" before sending the email.
  4. The recipient will receive the email and will be prompted to confirm that they have read the email. If they do, the sender will receive a notification indicating that the email has been read.

Keep in mind that read receipts are not always reliable, as recipients may not always confirm that they have read an email. Additionally, some email providers may not support read receipts or may have restrictions on using them.
