To be notified when your outgoing messages are received

You can set up Outlook Express to receive a receipt for e-mail you send. The receipt is sent when the message recipient has displayed your message. This is useful when you are sending time-critical information, or any time you want confirmation that your message has been received.

• To request a read receipt for individual messages, click the Tools menu in the new message window, and then click Request Read Receipt.
• To request a read receipt for all messages, click the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Receipts tab. Select the Request a read receipt for all sent messages check box.

Note

• Message recipients can choose not to send read receipts, even when they are requested. If you do not want to send receipts, click the Tools menu, and then click Options. On the Receipts tab, select the Returning Read Receipts option you want.
