Tips:
- Use this feature sparingly, as not all email providers support it, and it can be seen as intrusive by some recipients.
- If you are sending a critical or time-sensitive message, it may be worth enabling this feature to ensure delivery.
- Remember that a Delivery Receipt only confirms that the email has been delivered to the recipient's email server, not necessarily that it has been read or actioned.
- If you receive a Delivery Receipt but the recipient claims they did not receive your email, it's possible that the message was caught in their spam or junk folder.
