I've had to find a way to disable read receipts in Outlook on Mac OS. I saw a few posts here but none had a solution. Just sharing my workaround, hopefully this helps other users.

Open up a terminal and configure Outlook read receipt behavior using the commands below.

To disable sending receipts altogether, run

$ defaults write com.microsoft.Outlook Send_read_receipt 0

To disable the warning pop-up, run

$ defaults write com.microsoft.Outlook Dont_show_send_read_receipt_warning_sheet 1

To revert the behavior, rerun the same commands with opposite values.

To see current settings, run

$ defaults read com.microsoft.Outlook | grep receipt

"Dont_show_send_read_receipt_warning_sheet" = 0;

"Send_read_receipt" = 0;

thx.
