Why You Can’t Receive Requested Read Receipts

1. It is known that if an email takes with a read receipt request, a prompt for selection will pop up when recipients read and attempt to close the message. Therefore,  the most possible reason for no requested read receipts is that recipients select to reject sending a read receipt.
2. Besides, perhaps recipients have set Outlook not to send a read receipt. This can be achieved in “Outlook Options” as well. There is an option for users, namely “Never send a read receipt”. If recipients have selected it, of course you won’t receive an expected receipt.
3. In addition, maybe recipients have stopped Outlook to mark message as read automatically. Therefore, they should do it manually. Then if they haven’t mark it as read, the prompt for read receipt will never show up.
4. Moreover, its problem also involves the type of email client. If the recipients’ email clients don’t support sending out read receipts. Note that not all email clients can be in favor of read receipt.
