Can I get a Read Receipt with Mail, like in Outlook?

Can I get a Read Receipt with Mail, like in Outlook?
W.W.

It is possible, though not through the GUI. And as Dave points out, asking for a receipt does not mean that you will get one. The magic incantations for requesting receipts are detailed, amongst other places, in this article. It requires using the Terminal, and once set affects all messages you send until you unset it again.
If you search this forum for read receipts (the topic surfaces frequently) you should find a helpful Applescript for turning them on and off, to save using the terminal.

  • HT2500 How do I get a return receipt with Mail?

    I want to be sure that someone reads the e-mail I am sending.  In my old system (Windows Outlook) I was able to check a box to get a return receipt.  I've looked all over Mail, including the help system, and can find no instructions on this.  I can't imagine this important feature has been omitted from the program, but I cannot find it anywhere!
    Terrible fail, Apple help!
    Anyone out there know how to do this?  Thanks for the help!
    Best Regards,
    Jim

    Austin,
    Thanks for the info.  I was vainly hoping Apple actually had the feature in the program.  Sadly, this looks like a fail all the way 'round.  I know a return receipt doesn't guarantee anything, but it at least gives me some level of knowing someone got the message.  Sadly, Apple simply doesn't support the feature.
    Fail, Apple.  Fail!

  • Looking for read confirmation of mail like in outlook?

    I would like to know when the recipiant reads sent mail.

    Note that whether or not you will receive such a receipt depends entirely on the email application used by the recipient. Unlike proprietary message systems such as Microsoft Exchange, Internet email does not mandate that a client support return-receipt, so many email applications do not, and those that do often don't have it turned on.
    So while you can set Mail to issue a return-receipt request, it's highly probable that you will not get such a receipt back even if the recipient of the message has indeed opened it. Hence it's rarely worth the bother. It's just as effective in most cases to just ask that the recipient reply to let you know he/she has received the message.
    Regards.

  • Read receipts for mail

    Is there any way to get a read receipt with Mail like there was when I had Outlook in a previous life? Cant find how to block a read receipt when requested either. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    The Mail application does not include a read receipt request for sent messages nor does it provide a read receipt without your knowledge when requested by the sender of a message when opening a received message.
    I consider this an invasion of privacy. A minor one but an invasion of privacy nevertheless.
    Via the Terminal, you can have Mail "request" a read receipt for all sent messages but this will work only if the recipient's email client supports this and the recipient enables the option.

  • Email messages from my icloud account update on all my devices showing if they have been read and if a reply has been sent.  This does not happen with my tinyworld (TalkTalk) email account.  Can I (how can I) get this to work with TinyWorld?

    Email messages from my icloud account update on all my devices showing if they have been read and if a reply has been sent.  This does not happen with my tinyworld (TalkTalk) email account.  Can I (how can I) get this to work with TinyWorld?

    You have to look at the email protocol being used.  the Apple email system uses IMAP, does Tinyworld use IMAP or POP?
    Does the email system permit delivery receipts to be requested?
    Just some of the things one needs to determine from the information provided by the email service provider.

  • HT1146 Anyone know how to setup email so you can get a Read Receipt?

    I would like to know how I can setup email in Mac so I can get a 'read receipt' once the recipient has opened my sent email.

    The process is described here, though that is several years old. As far as I know it still works in 10.6.8. However, use it at your own peril. Also note that just because your messages request a receipt does not mean that the recipient's email client will send one - even if the client has the capability, many users will have it turned off. Apple's Mail hasn't the capability.

  • Help in getting the Read receipt in external mails ( like yahoomail , gmail

    Hi Experts,
    Scenario : We are sending notification mail to our external vendors for example abc.hotmail.com. We expect a Read acknowledgement to ensure the external vendor has gone through our notification generated from our SAP system. Point to consider is the two mail servers are different, sending mail server is configured to Outlook where as the receiving server will differ each time.
    It would be better if anyone lets me know whether SAP ensure that we get read receipt (
    acknowledgement) from other mail servers also?
    Steps followed are:
    Process 1: Using the function Module: SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1
    Populating the fields:
        wa_receivers-receiver   = <External Email address>.
        wa_receivers-rec_type   = 'U'.
        wa_receivers-notif_read = 'X'.
    Passing this structure to the Tables parameter: Receivers.
    However the read receipt is not obtained.
    Process 2: Using the class and the method:
    cl_send_request_bcs=>create_recipient_from_soos1
    The structure is getting populated as:
            recipient_soos1-recesc = 'U'.
            L_recipient_soos1-recextnam = < External email>
            l_recipient_soo1s-read      = 'X'.
    Also passing:
    I_requested_status = u2018Au2019.
    I_status_mail = u2018Au2019.
    CALL METHOD send_request->set_status_attributes
                EXPORTING
                  i_requested_status = i_requested_status
                  i_status_mail      = i_status_mail.
    However the read receipt is not obtained.
    Basis Settings:
    SCOT->Settings->Confirmation of Receipts -> the first option is checked.
    However still we are not getting the read receipt. The Delivery receipt is obtained but not the read-receipt
    Thanks
    Papiya

    Hi,
    Using the FM : SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1
    When you pass values to
    RECIEVERS
    for Delivery reciept : notif_del  = 'X'
    for Read reciept : notif_ndel = 'X'
    Try shceduling the report : RSCONN01 with default job name : SAPCONNECT ALL SEND
    and check if this helps.
    Cheers,
    Remi

  • Can't get adobe reader to install on my new laptop with windows 8

    I can't get adobe reader to install onto my new laptop with windows 8. Basically what happens is that I start the download from the adobe screen by clicking the yellow download button, then I click run (I've also tried save and run), then I allow the program to make changes to my hard drive, and then finally a blank grey box appears in the in the middle of the screen, titled "adobe reader installer". After this box appears nothing else happens. I've let it sit for at least 30 minutes and still nothing. I've also disabled my pop up blocker, and set the security settings to default as suggested in other posts. Unfortunately this is the only pdf program that works for the site we have to use to write contracts, so I need to get this figured out asap. Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

    Try installing from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise

    is there way to get read receipts in mail and do you get non deliverable notifications??

    I'm a little fuzzy on your question.
    If you are trying to "Bounce" and email, I regret to inform you that Apple removed that feature a few years ago.  There are other email programs available that have this capability.

    I have also had the 'Error reading settings' problem in Profile Manager, despite trying everything in the discussions and clean reinstalls (which work for a little while only).
    It seems that various different fixes work for some people but not others; and the underlying cause of the problem has not been resolved.

    How can I receive email delivery receipts or read receipts on Mail, OS X?
    Thanks!

    See here: http://email.about.com/od/macosxmailtips/qt/et_request_recp.htm
    Not sure if it works in Mountain Lion.
    Note that those only work if your recipients have allowed it to happen.
    Also, Mail will not respond to them at all.

  • I can't get adobe reader x to copy a column with the alt key, can someone help me.

    I can't get adobe reader x to copy a column with the alt key, can someone help me.

    Hello Pat,
    Thank you for getting back to me.  I have a table with columns in it and I’m trying to copy just one of the columns, think of it as a stock table you would get in a newspaper and I just want to copy the column that has all the symbols in it.  I use to be able to do this with no problem in previous versions of Adobe Reader by just putting my cursor next to the column I wanted, holding down the Alt key and selecting the data I wanted .  But with the new version that came with my new laptop running Window 8.0 I can not  accomplish this task.  Adobe Reader wants to copy everything in the table.  I would take a screen shot to show you, but when I open Reader, it takes over my entire screen and I can not get back to my task bar or desktop without closing the app.  If you could also tell me how to correct or adjust this annoyance I would appreciate it.   Needless to say I’m not currently a big fan of the new version of Reader.  Is there any way I can go back to a previous version of the product with Windows 8 as my OS?
    Thanks you for your help with this,
    Ed

  • Can I get a read verification on sent emails?

    Does anyone know if you can get a return receipt on emails?  I want to know if I send an email, if it is actually received/open/read...Do you know?
    Thanks for the help.
    Kathy

    It is not a feature that is availabe on the stock version of Mail in OS X.  If you use Outlook, the feature is there. 
    HTH
    UPDATE:  There is a way, but it will be globally applied (all email accounts).  I found it after a google search (google is your friend).  It's on About.com, and it involves terminal commands.  I'm hesitant about posting links (because of nasty notifications I've received before), but if you search with google using "request read receipt apple mail", it's the 1st item on the list.
