>From Gmail Help search: GMail, like most other webmail services, does not offer any "received receipt" and "read receipt" features. Normally, standard email rules imply that if a Delivery Failure Notification has not been received, the message has been delivered to the intended recipient.
Some email clients, like MS Outlook, offer a "read receipt" feature which can provide such notifications, provided that the recipient also uses the same email client and has enabled or allowed the "receipt" to be transmitted to the sender! In this case it is more of a worry as the sender will never know, if he has enabled the "read receipt" feature and does not receive one in return, whether the mail was (a) not received, (b) received but not read, (c) received and read but the "receipt" was disallowed by the recipient! So it is better to go with general email standards which, to prevent unnecessary mail traffic, imply that failure to receive any of the Delivery Status notifications (Failed, Delayed, etc.) means the message being successfully received by the recipient. Hope this helps.
