If you want to confirm that someone receives and opens an email message, you can request a read receipt. Importantly, your Drew email can only request a read receipt from another Drew email address, and that address cannot be a group mailing list or an alias. Also, there are a number of situations when a read receipt will not be generated - especially if someone reads an email on their phone. Learn more about how to request a read receipt and when they may not be returned at this Google support page. Please note the warning at the end: Do not rely on a read receipt to tell you that an individual actually read your message. |

When you receive an email that includes recipients outside the Drew organization, Google will automatically label it "External". - This label will be visible in Gmail on the web and Android devices; it is not yet available on iOS.
When you reply to an email that includes an address not in the Drew domain and not in your contacts, you will see a warning banner.
