Hello :wave:,
are read receipts still activated in settings for you and your recipients?

Yes they are.

Nothing has changed in respective parties setup except for my email address and password under Settings => Password and Account.

Another thing I just observed, this is not happening with every contact, say 80% of them.

Maybe they have to accept a new contact request on their end first?

It appears the issue is that my contacts where read receipts are not appearing, have not yet accepted the new contact request for my new email address.

It may be a bit surprising that read receipts are not sent for already read messages even after accepting the contact request. Could be interesting to check how other messengers solve this problem.

I think this problem will go away if all my contacts are verified should I need to switch email accounts again. Will update this thread with the results.
