I'm disappointed this feature is not part of Outlook for Mac and struggle to understand why.

"... this feature is available to all O365 subscription users with 15.35 (170610) or later build." is a false statement. This feature is still intentionally disabled in Outlook for Mac Version 16.35 with an Office 365 Subscription. Users paying for, or with access to, both 0365 and Microsoft Exchange get this feature. Users with only an O365 subscription are excluded.

Its very sad, that this feature isn't working with an office 365 home subscription. Please make it available for all your customers.

Hi there, I have a License from 2019, Outlook version 16.33, no O365, I just bought the software license and it is unbelievable that you offer such product without all the features such as read receipt.
Complains about the functionality date as early as 2017 by many Mac users. You are discriminating the Mac community and for what reason? I don't really care about you telling me that Office 365 users have that feature, I think we all deserve a good product here. Thank you.

Above URL doesn't work anymore, this one does: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2017/06/19/outlook-2016-for-mac-is-adding-your-most-requested-features/
HOWEVER, the feature request is, as already stated many times before, NOT FULLY IMPLEMENTED as in the Windows Client.
Currently, IT’S NOT supported for Office365 Private/Home or other account types such as Outlook.com and IMAP or POP accounts (Gmail, Yahoo!, iCloud etc)
From Microsoft Support: "Supported accounts. To use this feature, you need an Office 365 work or school account, or an Exchange on-premises account."

@Mac Outlook Team, that isn't what people here were wanting. They were wanting it to be just like Windows where it doesn't matter on the subscription.

Hi guys.
It seems to me that only those with an Office 365 subscription have access to this feature.

This is not working for two users on office 365 with the latest build. I opened a ticket with Microsoft and after putting me through various troubleshooting steps and calls, they said it was a known issue.

If you want to receive the delivery or read the report for my send email ,ı should tick them for each email. I recommend that you automatically set up a report request like windows outlook
