New Outlook: prepare receipt requests and follow-up
For one proposed message from your own organizational Exchange mailbox in new Outlook for Windows. Establish the selected message, recipients and authorized next step privately.
Choose the evidence
A delivery receipt confirms mailbox delivery; a read receipt confirms message opening. Neither establishes acceptance of a request or completed work. A recipient can decline a read receipt; unsupported programs may not return one. No receipt is not proof of failed delivery or an unread message, and you cannot force a response.
Prepare the request
While composing, use Options → Tracking to request a delivery receipt, read receipt or both. If absent, check More Options at the ribbon’s right end. Unresolved controls or account type require clarification. IMAP/POP accounts are unsupported; personal Outlook.com is outside this guide.
Return the proposed receipt choice and who will check each recipient’s actual evidence. Keep request, delivery, opening, acknowledgement and completed work separate; obtain any needed reply through a separately authorized follow-up.

Evidence: Official substantive sections read 2026-10-05T22:44:05.333055Z; no update date displayed. Sixteen manual reader decisions checked this draft. A distinct same-controller checker read the full source, rechecked those decisions and four additional reader boundaries at 2026-10-05T22:45:31.738234Z. These checks provide no independent formal review. No mailbox, draft, setting, send, receipt or follow-up was accessed or performed. Recheck changed client, account or controls before use, and by 2026-11-05T22:44:05.333055Z. Feedback should identify the unclear public branch without private mail. Email standard [current article].
