Want to request individual return receipt with Outlook

U

Uncle Scotty

Hello,

I am using Outlook to manage my gmail account via my rcn provider. I
want to be able to send return receipt requests on a case by case
basis and cannot seem to make it work.

Under message options, I select the request option for the message of
interest, and I send it but I never get back the notification that the
message was received?! I send it to a non-Outlook, non gmail account
of mine so I can control the reading of the message.

Some help? Scott

Read receipts are configurable by the recipient (I ALWAYS refuse) as well as being unsupported by some email clients. Delivery receipts are handled by mail servers, many of which do not support them.

All I am interested in is a delivery receipt. So, in the end, without
knowing whether the servers I am sending mail through support them, is
there a way to set it up at least so that it may work for those
servers that do?

Thanks, Scott

The other thing is that when I send a test message to my own gmail
account, I don't get a delivery receipt either.
