About This Feature
Overview
Email Delivery Status is a mail tracking feature in WPS Mail on Windows. It lets you check delivery results for a sent message by recipient and review common failure reasons.
Core capabilities include:
- Check the delivery result of a sent email and review the current status for each recipient.
- Review common failure reasons and handle bounce, moderation, or data protection rule cases.
This feature is useful when you need to confirm whether an important email reached the recipient server, troubleshoot sending issues, or follow up on internal review results.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | View recipient-level delivery details directly in a sent email, refresh the latest result, and distinguish delivered, bounced, interrupted, and data protection rule outcomes. | Exchange Online message trace can show whether a message was received, rejected, deferred, or delivered, mainly for admin mail flow investigation. | Google Workspace Email Log Search can find organizational messages and show delivery status and post-delivery status, mainly for admins. | Notion Mail explains possible delivery failure causes such as Gmail timeout, rate limits, server issues, or revoked authorization, but its official page does not describe a dedicated sent-mail delivery status panel for each recipient. | Adobe Campaign provides a delivery dashboard with statuses such as Sent, Failed, and Pending for campaign monitoring. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: You can open a sent email and check recipient-level status in the same message view, which is convenient for everyday follow-up. | Compared with WPS: The official workflow is admin-oriented message tracing rather than a direct sender-side status view inside a sent message. | Compared with WPS: Admins need to search logs in the admin console, so the path is longer for routine sender follow-up. | Compared with WPS: The official help explains failure causes, but it does not describe the same kind of recipient-level delivery status view in sent mail. | Compared with WPS: The official workflow is more focused on campaign delivery monitoring than personal sent-mail detail. |
| Official Source | — | Trace an email message in Exchange Online | Find messages with Email Log Search | Compose an email | Delivery statuses |
Overall Conclusion: For everyday work where you want to confirm the result of one sent email quickly, WPS provides a more direct path inside the sent message view. Microsoft and Google focus more on admin-side mail tracing, Adobe focuses more on campaign delivery monitoring, and Notion currently documents failure causes more than a dedicated delivery status panel.
