Zimbra just released a new patch (10.1.8) yesterday. This patch brings Zimbra Chat to the Classic UI and introduces a new feature, Delivery Status Notification (DSN).

# Activate Delivery Status Notification (DSN)

You can enable this feature based on COS or account level

To enable the DSN feature, go to the (COS or Account) Features menu > Mail Features, and select the checkbox for Delivery Status Notification

In Modern UI, go to Settings | Writing Email. Checklist on Request delivery status

After enabling DSN, you will receive a notification like the following each time you send an email.

Note: When I testing this feature, it works in the Zimbra Modern UI but does not work in the Classic UI

Good Luck 🙂
