Normally, if the mail server didn’t reject the email (because its address was spelled wrong or for other reasons) and you haven’t received messages from a postmaster or MailerDaemon then it most likely was delivered. Just like you can opt for a delivery notice when you mail a package with the Post Office, so too can you choose with an email (actually, with an email you can be notified of its delivery status and “ Read” state). If you’ve wondered what a read receipt actually is and how it works, if someone ever told you that they received a read receipt from you even if you haven’t allowed any, then read on to know what’s what!Ī read receipt is nothing more than an alert – you send something and you get notified of it, as simple as that. Yes, there are services that boast this ability but the truth of the matter is that they are mostly unreliable (or at least nowhere near 100% accurate), and can even damage your image and reputation by making you look “sneaky”. We would really like to tailor this request, but unfortunately it’s not possible: there is no way that the sender of an email can know for sure who read the email, who opened it, when and so on… it’s like asking us to include a feature in Bells&Whistles so that you know what the person on the other end is wearing!īut what about those email read receipts promised by so many websites? Let’s face it: we all want to be in control we want to know what is happening, who does what and when! This is the likely cause of why we continually receive emails from users inquiring about how to enforce a read receipt on all outgoing emails or asking us to include this feature ASAP.
