How do I request a read receipt using Outlook for Mac?

MS says no way...

It's a really feeble protocol, and good that Entourage or Outlook does not (pretend to) implement it. The fact that Outlook for Windows implements it is an indication that the Windows developers, unlike the MacBU, seem to think that everybody else in the world uses Outlook for Windows, which they don't.

There are some third party options you can try.

I, like 99.9% of the world never respond to that request. 🙂

BDAqua,

Is there any kind of hack for this, or a script that I can make in Terminal? We went to Mac in 2011 and have just received a court order requiring us to communicate in a certain way with opposing counsel, and to employ the use of delivery receipts. Please advise.

Hi,not certain about Outlook, but for Apple's Mail App you might try this...
