And as most of us know, many users never seem to empty the deleted items
folder on a frequent basis. Find a user from whom you're expecting a 'Not
read' receipt and see if your message is still sitting in their DI folder
and marked as unread. If so, empty their DI folder and see if you are then
delivered your expected receipt.
