3. Select "Track" from the dropdown menu.
4. Outlook will send a tracking request to the recipient's email server.

Method 2: Using the Delivery Report

Tracking Status

Outlook tracks the following status updates:

• Delivered: The email has been successfully delivered to the recipient's email server.
• Opened: The recipient has opened the email.
• Read: The recipient has read the email.
• Clicked: The recipient has clicked on a link in the email.
• Forwarded: The recipient has forwarded the email to someone else.
• Bounced: The email was not delivered due to a technical issue.

Tips and Limitations

• Tracking only works if the recipient's email server supports it.
• Tracking may not work if the recipient's email client is set to block tracking requests.
• Tracking may not work if the email is sent to a large number of recipients.
• Tracking is not available for emails sent to recipients outside of your organization.
