We're going to show you how to request

00:00:05

a read receipt or delivery confirmation in outlook.

00:00:09

A read receipt is a notification you receive when the recipient opens your email.

00:00:14

Conversely,

00:00:15

a delivery confirmation informs you that your

00:00:17

email has reached the recipient's inbox.

00:00:20

These features are particularly valuable

00:00:22

for important communications where you need

00:00:25

to know if and when your message has been read,

00:00:28

start by composing a new message by clicking on new message.

00:00:32

Click on the options tab in the menu bar at the top of the composition window

00:00:36

to receive a read receipt, check the request, a read receipt box

00:00:41

to request a delivery confirmation, check the request delivery receipt box.

00:00:47

You can also disable reactions on this

00:00:49

email by checking the disallow reactions box.

00:00:52

This option prevents your recipients from responding

00:00:54

to your message with an emoji,

00:00:56

compose your email as usual then send it by clicking send.

00:01:01

Once your email is sent,

00:01:02

you can track read receipts and delivery confirmations directly in your inbox.

00:01:07

These notifications will appear as separate messages to inform

00:01:10

you of the email's delivery and opening status.

00:01:14

Please note that you may not always receive a read receipt

00:01:18

as the recipient can choose not to send this notification.

00:01:21

However,

00:01:22

delivery confirmations are generally automatic and do

00:01:25

not depend on the recipient's choice.

00:01:28

If you want to enable read receipt requests by default,

00:01:31

go to settings then navigate to mail settings and select message handling

00:01:37

within this section. Find the read receipts option.

00:01:40

Activate the desired option to enable read receipt requests by default.

00:01:45

This will ensure that every email you send will request a

00:01:48

read receipt unless you manually disable it for individual emails.

00:01:53

Thank you for watching this tutorial.

We hope this helps you better manage your professional communications in outlook.
