Where do I receive or find a delivery receipt?

To test how delivery receipt works I sent an email to myself, requesting
delivery receipt, (so I know that it was received) but what form does
delivery receipt come in? Same thing with read receipt, I sent myself one,
respond yes when I opened the message, but haven't received anything I can
see that is a read receipt. Where would I find it?

Delivery receipts are generated by the recipient's mail server, if it is
supported. As for the read receipt, have you hit send/receive after reading
the email?

Is my mail server Outlook or the company that gives me my email address/my
incoming server, or my ISP/my outgoing server?

I have hit send/receive numerous times after reading the email. Would the
receipt show up in my Inbox?

It would be the mail server that the recipient uses.

So since I sent this to myself, do you mean my ISP or my domain hosting/email
address company? And would the receipt show up just like an email in my
Inbox? BTY, I'm a newbie, not a techie, so I beg you to be patient with my
questions!
