Read receipts, and the people who need them

For more radar images, visit office.com/imagesIf the work in the perfect e-Mail message to write that, it's nice to know that someone has you all, receive and read it. Outlook has a feature that, that can help, but it is not a one-way street: the receiver must be prepared, cross it with you.

I like it this way to think about: If you order a meal in a restaurant, you know that the Chief has received your "message", because your food arrives a short time later (provided you the chef by annoyed too many proposals not yet). When it comes to e-Mail, but not things so black and white. How can you be sure that someone has received and actually read your message? To put it bluntly, you can know just for them, so that you... but you can do it. Can know you it is for the recipient to inventory if they have read (or even receive) your note, but it really decide to them is whether or not know.

Oh, people play games...

First let's find out how to set up message tracking. Because if you do not first, you can use it.

You have sent a very important message to people. They may be a teacher who wants to know that your pupils and students their homework got you by to them e-Mail. Or perhaps you take a survey in your company and want to make sure that everyone received and read ask the e-Mail to respond to the survey. In Outlook, you can set up a message so that each recipient has the option, you informed that they have: (1) the message received and read (2) the message.

You can be notified on a particular message, or you can it set up so that you be notified of all messages. Find out more in a minute.

You have now done all that you can do. But just because you have taken these steps does not mean that there is a 100% is sure thing, you know, if your recipient read your message. And why is that? I'll say it again: because it up to the recipient to let you know... is or not. See, while you have read about setting up message tracking, to change automatic response to read receiptsread. Your recipients have the option to send a read receipt whenever this is required, to never send, or, on a case by case basis, decide whether a send.

I therefore recommend news important to tracking only single. If people get a number of tracked messages, they are more likely to get irritated and just say the hell with it and never send a receipt.

Now that you know how to set up a read receipt, there are a few other things you can do to try to, keep track of things:

Now, for what I mean about read receipts? Can the component you are set up so that the recipient knows it request one, but it is up to you to decide whether she want to know, that she know, that you want to know whether you got your message.

And perhaps want to know it not. Perhaps you two have on some mind game sick little to go. I have no idea; still I care. My only part in this is learn about your options and then set you free, and are the most professional e-Mail senders can, that you be.
