Objectifs :
This document aims to clarify the differences between read receipts and delivery confirmations in email communication, as well as provide guidance on how to enable these features in Outlook. It also discusses best practices for tracking important messages and understanding the limitations of these notifications.
Chapitres :
-
Understanding Delivery Confirmations and Read Receipts
Delivery confirmations and read receipts serve different purposes in email communication. A delivery confirmation acknowledges that your email has been delivered to the recipient's inbox, but it does not indicate whether the message has been read. In contrast, a read receipt confirms that the recipient has opened and read your message. -
Enabling Delivery Confirmations in Outlook
To enable delivery confirmations for all sent messages in Outlook, follow these steps: 1. Open Outlook and go to the 'File' tab. 2. Select 'Options' and then click on 'Mail'. 3. In the 'Tracking' section, check the box for 'Delivery receipt confirming the message was delivered to the recipient's email server' or 'Read receipt confirming the recipient's message'. It is advisable to track only important messages rather than all messages, as frequent requests for confirmations may lead to recipients ignoring them. -
Requesting Receipts for Individual Messages
If you want to request receipts for a specific message, you can do so when composing the email: 1. In the message window, navigate to the 'Options' tab on the ribbon. 2. Check the boxes for 'Request a Delivery Receipt' and 'Request a Read Receipt'. You will receive notifications in your mailbox once the recipient acknowledges the message. -
Tracking Receipt Acknowledgements
To track delivery receipts, you can open the original message in your 'Sent Items' folder. Follow these steps: 1. Open the sent message. 2. In the 'Message' tab, select the 'Tracking' option. Note that this option will only be available after at least one acknowledgment has been received. For read confirmations, similar timing applies; you may receive a confirmation message indicating when the email was read. -
Understanding Limitations of Receipts
It is important to note that not receiving a confirmation does not necessarily mean that the message was not delivered, opened, or read. Several factors could explain this: - The recipient may choose not to confirm receipt or reading of the message. - The recipient's mail server may filter out emails, preventing the sending of confirmations.
FAQ :
What is the difference between a read receipt and a delivery confirmation?
A delivery confirmation indicates that your email has been delivered to the recipient's inbox, while a read receipt confirms that the recipient has opened and read the message.
How can I request a read receipt in Outlook?
To request a read receipt in Outlook, create your email, go to the Options tab in the ribbon, and check the 'Request a Read Receipt' box before sending.
Can I track all my sent messages in Outlook?
While you can set Outlook to track delivery receipts for all sent messages, it is recommended to only track important messages to avoid overwhelming recipients with confirmation requests.
What should I do if I don't receive a read receipt?
Not receiving a read receipt does not necessarily mean the message was not delivered or read. The recipient may have chosen not to send a confirmation, or their mail server may filter out such notifications.
How do I check the tracking status of my sent emails?
To check the tracking status, open the original message in your Sent Items, and select the Tracking option in the Message tab. This will show you any acknowledgments received.
