<title>Read receipts for emails</title>

<p>Read receipts are a way for people to acknowledge that they have received your email. The recipient can normally choose whether to acknowledge the receipt or not, so they are not a completely reliable way of checking if your emails have been received by someone.</p>

<p>You can request read receipts by enabling this option in the email composer's menu. To do so, go to <guiseq><gui>Options</gui><gui>Request Read Receipt</gui></guiseq>.</p>

<p>For read receipts that you receive you can define Evolution's behavior by going to <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Preferences</gui><gui>Mail Accounts</gui><gui style="button">Edit</gui><gui>Defaults</gui><gui>Message Receipts</gui></guiseq>.</p>
