Tracking E-mail with Outlook
Have you ever sent an important e-mail that needed to arrive on a specific date and time and then wondered if the recipient ever received it? Outlook has a feature that will help you track e-mail.
To track a message in Outlook 2007
1. On the Message tab, click on Options dialog box launcher.
2. When the Message Options window opens, under the Voting and Tracking options, click on Request a delivery receipt for this message and/or Request a read receipt for this message.
A delivery receipt tells you that your e-mail message was delivered to the recipient's mailbox, but not whether the recipient has seen it or read it. A read receipt tells you that your message has been opened. In both cases, you receive a message notification when your message is delivered or read.
If you are still using Outlook 2003, this feature is available and can also be found in the Message Options window by clicking View on the menu bar and then Options.
So don’t stress out any longer when sending important e-mails as it just takes a second to set up the tracking.
