Delivery confirmation & read-receipt in Mail?

Is it possible to obtain a delivery confirmation & read-receipt in Mail?

No, it is not.  The OS X Mail application does not offer this functionality.

  • Delivery and read receipts from mail - how do i do it?

    delivery and read receipts from mail - how do i do it? i used to do this on pc from outlook..... just new at this stuff... thanks

    Hmm, had a bit of a look round but it doesn't look like it's particularly straightforward, esp if you want to turn it on or off on a per mail basis:

  • Delivery Confirmation & Read Receipts

    Firstly, I am very new to Mac.
    I am used to Microsoft Outlook, particularly the 'Delivery Confirmation' and 'Read Receipt' options.
    Does Mail have these or similar options? I am sure they are right in front of me and I just can't seem to find them - PC to Mac blindness...
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Not blind, apparently

  • I use Mac Mail. How do I set up an email to get a delivery or read receipt?

    I use Mac Mail. How do I set up an email to get a delivery or read receipt? In other words, I want to receive automated confirmation that the email was either delivered, opened, or both -- which you can do in Outlook. I was not able to find this option in the Mail menu.

    Unfortunately OS X Mail does not offer this feature as far as I know. With Apple failing to offer that feature up until now I highly doubt it'll happen in the future :/

  • Generare e-mail status by tracking Delivery and Read Receipt?Challenge

    Hi,
    I got bit confused, How can I came to know that my e-mail has been successfully sent or not without opening my inbox.
    Am sending 50,000 mails per day by using java mail sending program, while sending I am enabled Delivery and Read receipt and I saved message-id in database and I got that receipt back to my inbox.
    Then I am reading my Inbox using another java program based on message-id concept, And also I need to parse the body of the mail to update the reason if any message failed.
    Here my Inbox received more than 1 lac mails per day as receipts. Because am sending 50,000 mails, So, I got 2 receipt mails for 1 mail, totally 50,000*2=1lac mails in Inbox. My problem is, my reading Inbox java program not able read all 1lac mails at one day. It just reading 5,000 mails per day. When my next day mail sending process started, again i am getting another 1 lac receipts.
    Since I am not able to read and delete the receipts completely, mail counts in my inbox getting accumulated. So, I got stuck, How can I do this?
    If anybody have any other ideas please share with me.
    Already I surfed on net lot, but I can`t find solution for this concept.
    Thanks in advance.

    I think the big question is why can you not read and remove the mail more quickly? What limits you to reading only 5,000 messages per day?
    Also, is this about Oracle Communications Messaging Exchange Server (formerly known as Sun Java Messaging Server)?
    If so, please include the output from the "imsimta version" command.
    If not, you probably should ask in the JavaMail forum: JavaMail

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

    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.

    Hi EJP,
    step 2: Taking total inbox length using message.length
    The message count is available via Folder.getMessageCount*().//ok I will try this one.*
    step 3: In for loop, for(i=0; i < = n; i+){+ //--here we are getting mails one by one
    That should be i < n, not i <= n. *//here I was wrongly specified, I used i<n only.*
    step 5: In that mail body we are searching our own unique keyword(which we set for our unique mail reference)
    Searching how?
    In order to find the keyword, we are getting entire text/plain mail body using below method,
    //To get body plain/text body part start here
         public static void getTextPlainBodyPart(Part p) throws Exception {
              if (p.isMimeType("text/plain")) {
                   if (!(showStructure) && !(saveAttachments)){
                       lstr = (String)p.getContent();
              }else if (p.isMimeType("multipart/*")) {
                 Multipart mp = (Multipart)p.getContent();
                 level++;
                  int count = mp.getCount();
                  for (int i = 0; i < count; i++){
                 getTextPlainBodyPart(mp.getBodyPart(i));
                  level--;
    //To get body plain/text body part end hereAbove method will return entire body of the mail in one string variable, Eg: String mailBody;(*mailBody variable contains entire body)*
    Then using mailBody variable we are searching our own keyword(which we set for our unique mail reference while sending mail) using below technique,
    if(lstr.indexOf("!$*#*$") != -1 && lstr.lastIndexOf("$*#*$!") != -1){
    KeyWord = lstr.substring(lstr.indexOf("!$*#*$")+3,lstr.lastIndexOf("$*#*$!"));
    //to get reason alone
    if(lstr.contains("Reason:")){
         Pattern p = Pattern.compile("Reason:\\s([^\\n])*");
    Matcher m = p.matcher(lstr);
    boolean result = m.find();
         while(result) {
            reason = m.group();
             result = m.find();
    //System.out.println("Reason:>>>>"+reason);
    }else{
         reason = "";
    }After getting that keyword in KeyWord variable,
    then we are updating our database using that KeyWord,(here we are using KeyWord variable in where condition in update query)
    Note:_ KeyWord is nothing but, we were stored all our unique keyword against every mails while sending.So, If when get that keyword while reading the receipts,then we can update our table using that same keyword.
    guide how can I do this effieciently. And if you any other new concept please share with me.
    Thanks in advance..

  • Prohibit delivery- and read- receipts

    Does anyone know how you can prohibit Mail and Entourage from sending delivery- and read- receipts.
    I could only find answers to the question how you can request them yourself, what is not an issue for me.

    Mail doesn't send receipts for delivered nor read mail. "Read" receipts aren't supported in any Internet email client I know of, only in proprietary messaging systems such as Outlook/Exchange.
    Entourage to the best of my knowledge by default doesn't return delivery receipts either, though I might have missed it in my copy. It appears that the only way to get it to do it is by manually adding special headers.
    So if you don't want to be returning receipts, you don't need to worry.
    Regards.

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

    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.

  • 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.

  • How to set up read receipts in mail on OSX Mavericks

    How do you set up read receipts in mail on OSX Mavericks? I've looked under settings for the mail app but can't see anything that I can 'turn on' to get an indication when an email has been read. Thanks for any responses in advance.......

    Hi, there.
    Unfortunately, there's no such feature on Mail. No version of it has ever had.
    Besides that, read receipts are not good at all. It is up to the recipient whether or not to send a receipt. So you will never know if the recipient never read the email or just didn't send a receipt.
    Yours.

  • 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.
