Outlook 2007 – Add Tracking to E-mail Message

Email tracking is feature with the help that you can track your email (i.e. whether your email message was delivered to the recipient’s mailbox or recipient opens your email message.)

There are two options for email tracking

  • Delivery Receipt
  • Read Receipt

A delivery receipt tells you that your e-mail message was delivered to the recipient’s mailbox, but not whether the recipient has seen it or read it.

  • Click on the Options
  • Under the Preferences Tab, Click on the  Email Options
  • Under the Email Options, Click on the Tracking Options
  • Now you will see the two option: Delivery Receipt and Read Receipt

Now you just need to click on the check box of Delivery Receipt and Read Receipt as you need.

Note: You can set any one of option as Read Receipt. (If Required)
