Require receipts when sending Outlook email by Python

Question

Simple lines to send Outlook email by Python,

referencing from Send email through Python using Outlook 2016 without opening it

import win32com.client as win32

outlook = win32.Dispatch('outlook.application')
mail = outlook.CreateItem(0)
mail.To = '[email protected]'
mail.Subject = 'Message subject'
mail.Body = 'Message body'

mail.Send()

Is it possible to require Delivery Receipt and Read Receipt when sending an email? What would be the good way?

Answer 1

Sure, use ReadReceiptRequested & OriginatorDeliveryReportRequested property MSDN

Example

import win32com.client as win32

outlook = win32.Dispatch('outlook.application')
mail = outlook.CreateItem(0)
mail.To = "[email protected]"
mail.Subject = 'Message subject'
mail.Body = 'Message body'
# request read receipt
mail.ReadReceiptRequested = True
# request delivery receipt
mail.OriginatorDeliveryReportRequested = True
mail.Send()
