Read Receipts can only be used with Exchange email settings.

All emails that are waiting for a read receipt are displayed here. By clicking on the filter, you can separate your read receipts by delivered, pending or received.

When the email is sent, you will receive a delivery receipt. Once confirmation that the email has been read is received, you will be notified via email as well.
