Hi,
These days e mail is a popular way of communication, even for office work.
Sometimes the other party say they have not received any mail. How to make sure that the mail has reached or not?
Thanks
it depends on the email client you and the sender is using, it is called "read receipt", check this link

Like some people do, you can send a follow up email and ask if they received the original email. Then you can call them and leave them a voice mail asking if they received the original email as well as the follow up email. 
Seriously, like quest mentioned, you can choose the read receipt. I believe there is an option to detect if they opened the email (but nor necessarily read it). If you receive notification they opened it, that means they received it. You can't, of course, make anyone read an email.

It used to happen to me. My Italian boss used to send email and then come to me and ask if I have received it or not then ask me to read it and let him know if I understand what he is asking in the email. He used to stand on my head until I finish reading the email. It was not me but with everybody in the department. All of us used to laugh after he leaves . I could not survive with him for long and left the company. I know he is still with the company and nobody reports to him now.

Mostly this happens in following three cases.
1) you mis-typed the receipient's email address.
2) Your email might be delivered into receipient's spam/junk email folder (I have seen this happens a lot with people using yahoo or hotmail. Gmail is more accurate in my opinion)
3) Even though you hit the send button, your email did not leave your account, that means it is still in your outbox, this usually happens with MS Outlook. Make sure you hit F9 (shortcut for 'send/receive all') before you close your outlook.
Dears;
Thanks for your input.
Jigj787, this is because of fourth reason, 'they don't wish to reply and get involved.'
After 10-15 days they will exclaim, "Oh you sent some mail on this topic!" By the time the matter will be daluted or not so much important. They are bosses and asking for reciept or something will be dubbed bad.
May be they claim not reading it and do not reply; I just want some surety that they have recieved the mail.
Thanks
