Symptoms
In an Exchange Server 2016 environment, a sender attaches a read receipt to a message and sends it to an IMAP user. If the message is not read and is deleted by the recipient, an "unread" notification is returned to the sender. This behavior occurs even if the -SuppressReadReceipt option is set to $True through the Set-IMAPSetting cmdlet.
Resolution
To fix this issue, install Cumulative Update 4 for Exchange Server 2016 or a later cumulative update for Exchange Server 2016 .
