#Outlook read receipt requested code

I tell people to get back to me at their convenience and I genuinely want them to not feel obligated to respond until they are good and ready.

Plus, I don’t like the pressure it puts on folks when they click that “send receipt” button and then they feel like the clock is ticking on responding to me. Sometimes they even go leave me bad reviews saying I never got back with them like I promised! All over the fact that an email didn’t go through and we had no way to know it. They just think I never sent them any designs and that I’m ignoring them.

They have enough money to hire me but not enough tech savvy to know how to whitelist, to know how to contact their email client and demand my emails get through, and any extra pop-up windows can make them feel like something dangerous and confusing is happening like their son or grandson warned them to stay away from on the internet. I just need to know these people are getting my emails because they are zero help on this issue.

Even if the code could crawl their sent mail looking for MY email address verifying that they started it and so it’s ok to just send me a receipt. But we know hackers are doing that sort of thing for evil anyway. I know that probably violates some privacy laws or regs somewhere. Like some javascript or something…… *send IF opened* (instead of the way it is now – *send IF the correct radio button is selected on the pop-up window*) But if not, then my second question is:Ģ) Is there someone that could hack MY Outloook so that when it sends the request for a Read Receipt, it automatically just sends it to me IF they read it and does NOT show them the pop-up box asking if they want to send me the receipt? 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.
