How to Receive Duplicate Read Receipts

Duplicate read receipts can be created as a rule in Microsoft Outlook. Read receipts are used to inform you when someone reads your email. Use them to monitor and track the emails that you send. Read receipts are sent instantly from the recipient's mailbox when she opens the email. The notification appears in your Inbox as soon as the email is opened. This feature must be activated because it is turned off by default.
