Mail -- mail read notice

Is there any way in Mail to get a message read return receipt? I think that is what it is called. Anyway, what I am looking for is a way to know if the person at the receiving end has opened a message I sent. Any way to do that? Thanks!!

The Mail.app doesn't support/provide a read receipt "request" for sent messages nor does it provide a read receipt with or without your knowledge when "requested" by the sender of a message.
I placed quotes around request and requested because this is a request only. If the recipient's email client supports this feature, the recipient will also have the option to deny providing a read receipt when requested by the sender of a message.
I use Windows Outlook at work and I do not request a read receipt for sent messages nor do I provide a read receipt when requested by the sender of a message.
There is a Terminal command you can enter for Mail which will request a read receipt for all messages sent by the Mail.app, not by individual messages but the recipient's email client must support this and if so, enable the option.

Is there any way to send all calls to voice mail until further notice?

I am looking for a way to send calls to voice mail until "further notice", a toggle that will send (or stop sending) all calls to voice mail automatically. I know that a double tap on the top power button will send the current call to voice mail, but it would be nice to be able to send all to voice mall say during an important meeting.

Glad it helped. Sometimes, the simple solutions are the best.

Hi
Even we did this scenario for one of our clients,but in our case mails were getting deleted by itself once processed.And those that did not get processed due to some reason remained in the mail box.
Thanks

Actually your suggestions are the ones that i have tried. i have seen that you have tried to help others with this issue and the only one that i could find that said they found the problem said that it was an ilife update issue and it fixed it and i have no available updates. i know it has to do with something in photo stream because it happens when i create a new library and it is loading the photos but i get the message before i reach the maximum 1000 photos. so i've tried updating, new library(first backing up photos and then deleting them from iPhoto), reinstalling OSX many times, running disc utilities. I called Apple the first day i had this issue and i was the first person to call them for support with the retina display and i actually had it escalated to a senior advisor and we thought we fixed the problem but we did not. i am pretty fluent in dealing with troubleshooting these type of issues and this is the first time i'm reaching out to the community. i figured now that the retina has been out some time now that there would be an obvious answer to this issue. thanks for the quick reply.

Outlook mail from Reader

I use Outlook to send mail from Reader but when the mail open i don't find the default sign I have when I create a new mail form Outlook.
What can I do?
Thanks

We have this problem in our organisation, here is our situation:
We use MS Office 2010 and MS Exchange server.
Some users have multiple mail profiles for specific email accounts that they can choose to open when they launch Outlook 2010.
If a user has launched Outlook using one of the other mail profiles that does not actually belong to their login account but they have permissions to use (ie. user Jane Doe [doej] has access to another Exchange email account of Primary Industries [primary]) , and then tries to use the "Send file as email attachment" button, it launches a new email and all looks good, says it is coming From: Primary Industries, user can click Send, but then the email is sitting in the users mail account Outbox (doej not Primary), and cannot be sent.
The PDF can be sent as an attachment from the Primary email account if the user first chooses to save the PDF, and then manually adds it to an email message they manually started to compose. This would be very time consuming for the users to do as they need to perform this function many times throughout the day.
It's as if the Adobe Reader application only wants to work with the logged in users mail account that belongs to them (ie. doej). I have even tried adding the other e-mail account in "Mail Setup - Outlook" in the Control Panel and setting this one as the Default E-mail account to use, but that hasn't helped.

New mail applications/reading mails in non-latin alphabet foreign languages

I work with China and Korea a lot. And I receive emails in Korean and Chinese language.
How do I allow my mail to read emails in Korean and Chinese. I have a friend who can read his iPhone emails in Japanese but I cannot read my iPhone emails in Korean and so I wonder if he has some kind of setup thats different than me.
Also, I am curious to know some opinions about any other mail applications for Mac that anyone can suggest and reasons why they prefer it over the standard mail application, if they do at all.
Thanks
Dan

I cannot read my iPhone emails in Korean and so I wonder if he has some kind of setup thats different than me.
If your problem relates to the operation of your iPhone, please use this forum instead:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1139
The iPhone lacks various language capabilities which are in the full OS X. I think emails may have to be in UTF-8 encoding to be received correctly.
If you have problems reading non-latin emails in the full OS X, let us know. Usually they can be solved by switching the encoding in Message > Text Encoding.

IOS 4 And Marking All E-Mail as Read

Hello,
Does anyone know if the "Mark all E-mail as Read" feature is going to make its way into iOS 4 / iPhone 4? I keep trying to find a full list of features for iOS 4, but all I see is buttons that say "learn more" and point at the same page which says the mail client was updated to support new exchange server, threading, and MORE FEATURES, which I can't find explained anywhere.
The only way I'll consider buying an iPhone is if I can mark all e-mail as read within 1-3 taps. Thus far, I can't find any indication that this is actually the case.
Thanks.

errr no...it is not a trivial issue, it is a real one.
I get 100-150 emails today, including a lot of spam which is a never ending task to control. I like to be able to scan email subject lines, choose the mails I want to look at, and then mark all as read. The Blackberry has a feature to do this with 2 clicks.
I have just got my first iphone, the iphone4, and am absolutely lost for words that there is no "mark all mail as read" function.
Telling folks to move from POP3 to IMAP is complete tosh. I mention this, as this appears to be a stock answer on some other forums. Why should you have to change your mail accounts /set up forwarding etc., just because you have changed phones?
Come on apple, less of the BS fluff apps. Give us proper control over our email please ! Unbelievable.

HT5361 I can't see right my mails. I have to double-click in my mail for reading it. Otherwise, the only think I can see, is the list of my mails. Could you help me please?

Go to the right side of the list view and place your cursor over the edge until it turns into a double arrow, then click and drag to the left.
If using the Classic layout, go to the bottom of the screen and after getting the double arrow, click and drag up.

Preview Pane: I don't want e-mail marked "Read"

I love preview pane in Mail, but don't want it to automatically mark my e-mail as "read". Any way to do this?

No. If you look at the contents of a message, it's automatically marked as read, and there is nothing you can do about it other than manually marking it as unread.

My mail, when reading an email, has an icon which is like a box with an arrow pointing down into it, what is it for? When I tap it my email goes "somewhere" out of my inbox. It still apperars in "all Mail" mailbox.

When I tap it my email goes "somewhere" out of my inbox. The email, which was moved from my inbox still apperars in "ALL Mail" mailbox.

That is the "Move" the email icon. Tap on that icon and you can move the email to any box or folder that is in black type on the left side of the window - under the Mailboxes heading. If the type is in grey on the left side - that box or folder is not an option that you can use.

Marking incoming mail as READ

How do I mark incoming mail as READ easily without going through each email and deleteing. This takes ome time.
It seems that the Mail application on iPhone is a hassle.

Not possible to select all or multiple messages at the present time.

To 31.0. Now when I open an e-mail and read it, then want to return to the Inbox, I now need to click on the List Tabs

Recently upgraded my four PCs running Win 7 professional from Thunderbird 24.6 to 31.0. Now when I open an e-mail and read it, then want to return to the Inbox, I now need to click on the List Tabs at the top right side of the screen, then click on Inbox it means an extra step and extra Mouse movement. How can I correct that? If not, how do I revert back to my previous version of Thunderbird? George G. (USN-USAF RET) Much obliged for your time and effort.

Do you not close a tab after using it? If you close them, they can't accumulate.
I haven't seen any change in TB3.1 in the way tabs work here.
Older versions are available here:
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/
Choose your version, then your OS (win32 in your case) then your locale (en-us I would think). Finally, when presented with something like ''Thunderbird Setup 24.6.0.exe'', right-click it and choose "save link as", then after it has downloaded, double-click the downloaded file to run it and install Thunderbird.
You don't need to uninstall your newer version. Some add-ons may require help to locate their previous versions, compatible with what you've downloaded and installed; Lightning in particular comes to mind.

TS4208 Apple Mail client no longer marks my mail as read on all my iOS devices. If I read a email on my iPhone and later open Mail on my iPad, the iPad still shows the email as unread.This changed recently, perhaps after iOS7 upgrade. Did I miss a setting

Apple Mail client no longer marks my mail as read on all my iOS devices. If I read a email on my iPhone and later open Mail on my iPad, the iPad still shows the email as unread.This changed recently, perhaps after iOS7 upgrade. Did I miss a setting? All mail account are IMA. iCloud is set to push, business mail is set to fetch every 15 minutes.

Read thier own support document on the subject then
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1795
This document was written as an answer to all those who complained about it as paying MobileMe users
They ignored us then and when MobileMe became iCloud they ignored us again, and just carried on with a system that will not update the e-mail read status across all devices
That's how it works, and like you 1000's of loyal Apple users cant believe it either but there you go

Setting up Mail to read Hotmail...?

How do I set up Mail to read my hotmail? What sort of account - POP, IMAP etc. and what do I put as the mail server - hotmail.com or something else?

I don't know the incoming or outgoing mail server but to access a Hotmail account with the Mail.app requires installing a httpmail plugin which adds the httpmail protocol and the account type to choose from when creating the account.
You can download the httpmail plugin here.

Mac Mail not reading AOL mail

For about a week, my mail account will not accept or read mail from aol.
I believe this is an Apple software issue.
I had to start to use Thunderbird, and I've not had the same issues with that program as with Mac Mail.
I just have to wait for the Apple tech's to read this and come up with a fix.
Mark

As you've already been told on your other thread, the problem was with AOL, not Mail. You were not alone having problems with AOL last week, yet Apple did not release any updates to Mail last week. It's not a Mail issue.
