How to configure Read Receipt request in Outlook 2007

How to configure Read Receipt request in Outlook 2007

 
There is more issues with Read Receipt. People do not like if, with every email received they have to do something more than just read it. They can feel like "You do not trust them". Many Companies switch this option OFF by default. Remember this before You start using it.
I will describe two solutions:
I. Setup of Read Receipt Request for all sent emails.
II. Setup of Read Receipt Request for certain (Important) emails.
Personally I prefer the Second solution. Also, You can always put a Red Importance mark which will draw your recipient's attention to it. But of course it is your own choice.

I. Setup of Read Receipt Request for all sent emails.

1. In Microsoft Outlook go to menu " Tools /Options.. "
Microsoft Outlook 2007 Options.
2. On preferences page click on " E-mail Options... "

3. In E-mail Options Click on " Tracking Options.... "

4. In Tracking Options Under " For all messages I send, request: " Check box next to " Read receipt "
5. Click " OK " on all screens to Confirm changes.

II. Setup of Read Receipt Request for certain (Important) emails.

1. Open New Message ( CTRL+N)

2. Click on the circle office button in the left top corner and go to Properties.

3.On the general tab You can check box next to " Read receipt request " option and/or change " Importance " from Normal to High.
