Email: Confirmation it was received at the destination

Microsoft provides 2 email options, one is a "read receipt" and the other a "delivery receipt".

Does Apple provide either of these in Mail?

Apple Mail no longer supports Read Receipts or Delivery Confirmation. For this functionality you'll want to explore third party Mac email clients like Canary Mail.


(I believe Apple removed this feature because of privacy concerns, but only Apple knows for sure).

If I found out as a recipient that you were asking for or getting read or delivery receipts I would never accept another email from you. I would block you in rules. Think of how valuable a tool like that would be to spammers/phishers.
