How to Enable Delivery Receipt in Outlook new?

Delivery Receipt in Outlook is a notification that confirms the successful delivery of email messages to the recipient’s email server. It is mainly useful for tracking the progress of your emails and ensuring that messages have been successfully transmitted through the email system. When you send an email and requested for delivery receipt for that email, you will receive a notification (Mostly in the form of a separate email) when the recipient’s mail server accepts the message for delivery report. This doesn’t confirm that the email was read by the recipient, if you want to get confirmation whether the recipient has opened or read the email, then you need to enable the Read Receipt. The Delivery Receipt only indicates that the message has been successfully transmitted to the recipient’s mail server. Note not all email servers and clients support or provide delivery receipts, and even if supported, recipients can choose whether or not to send them.
