And depending on your answer to question 1, Delivery Receipts may be good enough for my needs. Just trying to get them what THEY asked for and trying to communicate thru email as much as possible to keep organized, to keep things in writing to refer to later, and to keep from getting confused between my many clients. And sometimes the people tell me they never got my email – not in any folder. After I meet with them and have designs ready, I send them a fresh email (not a reply to their original contact with me) from my business email address and the subject line is always “MyBusinessName – Plan 1”. People find me and email me for a design appointment. So if delivery is confirmed, does that mean it actually got through to where the intended recipient has a CHANCE of seeing it – even if they have to look in other folders? Or does “delivered to recipient’s e-mail server” mean - there is still the chance the client didn’t like it and blocked it from ever showing up in the recipient’s email interface? Some e-mail hosts block things they consider to be spam BEFORE even letting it thru to the recipient at all – even to their spam or junk folder. Thanks for the article it did help! But I have two questions…….ġ) “Delivery receipt confirming the message was delivered to the recipient’s e-mail server”… This is not a fool-proof way to verify if email was received or delivered. Please note however that delivery and read receipts can be turned off by the recipient or email server administrator on the recipient end.

You can tell Outlook what action to take on email when the sender sends you a request for a read receipt with these steps. Now when you send the message, you will receive a receipt if the email is read or delivered.
