For more details, see Use read and delivery receipts to track your emails Sometimes you need to be notified that an important email has been delivered to and read by your recipient. Outlook for Mac now supports both read and delivery receipts.

A delivery receipt confirms delivery of your email message to the recipient’s mailbox, but not that the recipient has seen it or read it. A read receipt confirms that your message was opened.

In Outlook for Mac, the message recipient can decline to send read receipts. For more details, see. Spend less time writing emails Sending the same email over and over again?

The subject of the email becomes the calendar subject, and the body of the email goes in the notes field. For those of you who are task users, you can do the same thing.
