Delivery and Read Receipt Confirmations

We are interested to have a delivery and read confirmation for the email sent using connect and exchange server.
We tried to set both confirmation in the outlook application but the setting seems not to be saved on the server.
is there any way to configure these from an email context?
Thanks

Belated follow-up: this is best achieved thorugh ESP’s like SendGrid or MailJet.

Ok, Thanks Phil.
the customer chose another option to solve the problem.
