Confirming receipt of email in outlook
In Outlook, you can confirm receipt of an email in a few ways:
- Read Receipt: You can request a read receipt from the sender by clicking on the "Options" button in the top menu bar, then selecting "Request Read Receipt". This will send a notification to the sender when you open the email.
- Delivery Receipt: You can request a delivery receipt from the sender by clicking on the "Options" button in the top menu bar, then selecting "Request Delivery Receipt". This will send a notification to the sender when the email is delivered to your mailbox.
- Receipt Request: Some email clients, including Outlook, allow you to request a receipt from the sender. To do this, you can add the following text to the subject line of the email: "Please confirm receipt of this email".
- Outlook's built-in feature: Outlook has a built-in feature that allows you to request a receipt from the sender. To use this feature, follow these steps:
- Open the email you want to request a receipt for.
- Click on the "Message" tab in the top menu bar.
- Click on the "Request Receipt" button in the "Tags" group.
- Select "Request Read Receipt" or "Request Delivery Receipt" depending on your preference.
Once you've requested a receipt, the sender will receive a notification when you open the email or when it's delivered to your mailbox.
