To those extremely important emails, we tend to hope that we can get notified when it is delivered and read. This article will look at enabling Outlook to request receipts automatically when sending emails to those especially crucial contacts.
I create a contact group in Outlook, which contains all of my significant clients. Every time I send emails to them, I always add receipt requests to the messages manually. But via the following method, I needn’t add it any more. Outlook can request receipts by itself.
Request Receipts Automatically When Sending to Specified Contacts
- To begin with, head to “File” menu and click “Manage Rules & Alerts” button.
- Then a new window called “Rules and Alerts” will show up, in which you need to locate and click on “New rules” button.
- In the subsequent dialog box of “Rule wizard”, you should locate “Start from a blank rule” label, and select “Apply rule on messages I send”. And click “Next” button.

- In the following screen for actions, you can choose “notify me when it is delivered” or “notify me when it is read” or both of them. You can make this selection as per your needs. After this choice, you need to click “Next”.
- In the next step, you are permitted to pick out an exception if necessary. Of course, if not, you can just neglect this step and click “Next” directly.
