RESOLUTION

The Outlook Messaging Interface used with the Internet Mail Only installation of Outlook does not allow for message tracking, return receipts, or voting buttons. These features are available with the Corporate or Workgroup installation of Outlook, because it is a full MAPI client. To get theses features you need to convert to the Corporate or Workgroup installation of Outlook.

MORE INFORMATION

There are some considerations concerning conversion from one installation type to another. The most significant of these is migrating your IMAP mail account after the conversion. There is no support for IMAP accounts in the Corporate or Workgroup version of Outlook, however there is support for POP3/SMTP accounts. Many other features, such as Net Folders and multiple Internet accounts are available.

For information about how to migrate your mail from an IMAP account to a POP3/SMTP account, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
