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.
iMac 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)
Not blind, apparently

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.

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 -
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.

How to track Delivery and Read Receipts, to update the e-mail status?

Thanks in advance.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..

Blocking or Filtering Delivery Reports / Read Receipts
Using Mail, Is there any way to filter or block my Mac (and iPhone) from sending delivery reports or read receipts to senders that imbed this request into their emails that are sent to me?
If not available within Mail or OSX , are there 3rd party filters/pgms available to give me this capability?
Thx!I have used my Online Web Access to my work Outlook account to send an e-mail to my Mac to be read by the Mac's Mail program. I've sent an HTML message with a request for a Read Recipt and a Delivery Receipt. Outlook got replies for both. I then sent a plaintext message and requested a Read Receipt and a Delivery Receipt. Outlook again got replies from both.
This started because a person that had emailed my wife said they receieved a read request. I told her that the Mac Mail program does not respond to those. We decided to test and I was shocked that I received the receipts. I then tested with my own Mac and was again shocked to receive both receipts.
My test used her work account and her .mac account. I then further tested using my .mac account as the recipient.
So while I believed as you said that the Mac Mail program does not respond to those, it clearly is.
Both Macs are running the latest operating system. My mac was just purchased last June.
Any ideas on how to stop the Mac Mail program from responding to Read Receipts and Delivery Receipts? -

OK, I try it again (for the fifth time or so), maybe anywhere in the big microsoft world there is ONE support engineer that is able to recognize a bug and hand it over to the development????
In several cases the read receipt does not contain the sending time of the original message, instead it contains (quite senseless) the time when the receipt itself has been sent.
The only information in the read receipt is the subject of the original mail which may be identical in longer mailthreads to several (dozends of) mails. So in this implementation you are not able to find out to which message a read receipt really relates.
So we cannot prove at all if a single mail in a thread has been read or not. The printout of such a receipt does not have any information that can be used in a meeting or discussion.
Since this situation obviously lasts for several years I'd like to ask
how I can get a working read-receipt-functionality for professional eMail-handling???
It seems that the problem does not lie in the content of the MDN sent by the Exchange server.
If I look into a copy of such a sent MDN with Thunderbird, it tells me for example, that my mail, sent on 15th Juli 2013 14:43:47 (UTC+1) has been read on 15th Juli 2013 14:50:08, which is correct.
But in combination with Outlook I get the same MDN displayed like follows:
Your message at... subject... sent Monday, 15. Juli 2013 14:51:30 (UTC+01:00)... has been read on Monday, 15. Juli 2013 14:51:16 (UTC+01:00) (Text translated from German to English)
So Outlook exchanges the timestamps and falsifies the content of the MDN.
This does only appear in combination with an Exchange server. If I work with a POP3 account and Outlook and send a message to an Exchange 2010 mailbox the correct timestamps are displayed within the returned MDN-message.
All involved systems are set to German (DE-de), the timezone on all systems is UTC+1
Here a small table with my tests
I've used Outlook on all Clients, 2010 and 2013.
Sender: sends initial mail and gets the Reading Confirmation
Receiver: gets the initial mail and sends the MDN
Sender | Receiver | MDN Display
POP3 | Exchange | correct
Exchange | Exchange | fail (displays wrong "sent"-time)
POP3 | POP3 | correct
Exchange | POP3 | fail (displays wrong "sent"-time)
It is obvious this cannot be a "feature". This is different behaviour depending on the senders Account type and one of this two scenarios must be a bug.
Could you help me further on this, please?Almost no - the MS-Support here in this website was completely overchallenged to even understand this issue. I've tried several times to address this in this forum with no success. The "supporters" here had only one target - to quickly get this
"complicated" case off their desks.
The Office 365 support was much more competent and able to understand the problem. They escalated this to the development team (which lasted about 3 months, dozends of telephone calls and about 20 hours working time, which I had to donate to Microsoft freely)
and located the Problem in Exchange Server.
The result was that they promised to fix it in Exchange Server 2013, but there will be no Bugfix in Exchange 2010. I am waiting for the fulfilment of this promise since over 6 months.
Microsoft seems not to have any problem to leave their (professional and very expensive) Exchange software in a buggy state.
My conclusion: If Exchange 2010 runs out of maintenance I'll switch to Linux and Zarafa Server. The Zarafa guys are able to understand and fix their bugs and I do not have to donate thousands of Euros in working time only to get them understanding their
own bugs.
PS: You need only to press F1 in Office, especially in Access in the German language variant and you get an impressing lesson how desolate Microsoft is working today. Pressing F1 in Access 97 or XP lets you know, how much better they were some years ago.
An impressive deep fall down to the ground.

Hello,
I'm new to this forum and am hoping someone can help me with a few issues I'm having with my tmoile curve.
I seem to remember when I first used it that I would get an email message telling me the message I'd sent earlier had been read. I no longer get these and occasionally need them. I have made sure it's set to confirm delivery and read. When I look at the message, the check mark means it's been sent and is in their box, correct? Does the "d" that i see by some messages mean that they have gotten the message? I've forgotten what I knew before I tried to fix the problem!
I'd really appreciate some help...my brain is about to explode. Thanks.Go to main messages icon, press menu, options, email settings, change the confirm delivery and confirm read to off
If I help you with any inquire, thank you for click kudos in my post.
If your issue has been solved, please mark the post was solved. -

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.
