Hello, in this video I'm going to show you how to add read-receipt in Outlook
0:09
So what is a read-receipt? It is the notification that someone has read your email
0:21
So first of all, not all servers work with read-receipt, so sometimes you won't get notification
0:34
even when someone is going to read your email, so keep that in mind
0:40
And also, to some servers, the person to whom you are sending this email is going to get
0:52
another email that you are asking for a read-receipt. They can just click on this and send you the receipt that they have read this email, but
1:02
also they can just click decline not to send your read-receipt, so they just won't click
1:15
anything and you won't get the notification that they have read this email
1:20
And also, there is an option called delivery receipt
1:31
This option tells you if the email has got to the recipient or did not
1:39
There are two ways of adding the read-receipt or maybe just one and a single way if you
1:48
want to just add the read-receipt to specific email or if you want to get it to every time
1:56
So let's write an email really quick. So maybe this one, I don't need the subject, I don't need anything right here
2:12
So if you want to add the read-receipt, you want to go to the options and now you have
2:19
these two boxes, request delivery receipt and also request read-receipt. So you just want to click on this one, make those checkboxes ticked and just click send
2:38
This is so really simple. Also if you want to make it happen every time, you want to go to the file, which is in the
2:52
top left corner, then go to the options, which is at the very bottom
3:00
As you can see, now I got the notification that my message has been delivered
3:08
So it works as you can see. And also if I open the email on another account on Outlook 2, okay, now I have just read this email
3:26
Let's see if we are going to get a notification, but you know, let's go back to setting this
3:33
to make it done automatically. So then you want to go to these options and then what you want to, where you want to go
3:45
is to mail. And then if you go down a little bit, here is some section called tracking
3:59
So as you can see, deliver other receipts help provide confirmation that the message
4:05
were successfully received. Not all email servers and applications support sending receipts
4:13
As you can see, I told you this earlier and even Outlook is giving us this information
4:20
And as you can see, here are some options that for all messages sent request delivery
4:25
receipt, either the read receipt, you can select both of this right here
4:33
And also you can select that always send a read receipt, never send a read receipt or
4:41
just ask me each time whether to send a read receipt. So I will, you know, choose this option right here because not every time I want to get
4:55
a read receipt. And okay
5:05
And let's just now click okay. And now here is the notification
5:13
As you can see, let's create a new email. Again, to the same recipient, no subject
5:24
And now let's just click send. And the Outlook didn't ask me about this
5:35
If I want to get a read receipt and deliver a receipt
5:39
This is very strange. Okay, maybe something went wrong. Let's check this out again
5:44
File options. I got the, again, I got the notification, then mail, then tracking
5:57
And I have selected this option, ask me each time whether to send a read receipt
6:02
Okay, this didn't show up. So maybe this option does not work
6:09
But yeah, these are the options that you can select. So this is it
6:17
This is how you can add a read receipt in Outlook. Thanks for watching
