How can I see if a sent e-mail has been read?

Having moved from a PC to a MAC, in Outlook and Thunderbird I was able to get an e-mail response when an e-mail I had sent had been read. I have searched preferences within Mail but have been unable to see how to set set this up.

There is no option for read receipts in Mail.app, thank heavens. There are a few scripts around which supposedly add this function but from what I have read they are unreliable and I don't know if any would work in Snow Leopard.
As an aside user of Outlook (which supports them) can disable this function so asking for one can be a waste of time.

How can I see in which Group the workspace has been created ?

Hi,
The BeehiveOnline Tutorial on slide 7 shows that Workspaces are created within a Group.
Also the Group Administration screen suggests this as I can indicate that user ABC gets the role 'Workspace Creator' in one Group but same user ABC does not get the role 'Workspace Creator' in another Group. (what else is the purpose of this role within Group Administration)
But when I created my workspace, the system did not ask in which Group I wanted it to be created, neither can I see in the Settings of the new Workspace to which Group it belongs.
Can you please help ?
Thanks,
Peter

Peter,
Workspaces and groups can be confusing - apologies that it was not clear.
Perhaps some background as to why I described it that way may help.
BeehiveOnline relies on groups to be self-sufficient - if you are in one group your world of available participants is that group and that group alone. So if you want to create a new workspace and add users they can only be drawn from that group. - hence the workspaces within a group setup. However, if you are in multiple groups then the linkage gets broken as you could add members to a workspace from different groups - if you needed many group to share a repository of read-only info for instance. This is in wide use on BeehiveOnline. Read and Write access is more of a problem as if anyone updates a document or creates one their id will be attached to it and if they are in a group you as a workspace member cannot see it will cause confusion.
So workspaces are only group restricted if there is only one group. If you have multiple groups you have more scope but have to exercise more care.
Hope that explains it.
Phil

How do I track if a sent e-mail has been opened?

Mr X sends an e-mail to Mr Y; How can Mr X know if Mr. Y has opened the e-mail?

Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

Can I ask for proof that my mail has been read

I'm looking for what is sometimes called "read receipt" in other email programs. Where's the box to click to ask them to confirm that the message has been received at the far end?

Well, yes, but it seems to be a somewhat cumbersome workaround!
Indeedy! And at the end of the day you're still reliant on the receivers email application supporting it.

hello sanjaykaul, that won't be possible - once an email leaves your mail server it is no longer under your control.

It will have been set for the region in which it was purchased.

Once you have set the region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed. However see tis also:

Force-quit Photos as recommended by Arsenal1607.
Make backup of your iPhoto Library and run the iPhoto Library First Aid tools to repair the permissions on your library and rebuild the iPhoto Library.
To launch the First Aid Tools hold down the alt/option and the command key simultaneously while double clicking the iPhoto Library to launch the iPhoto Library First aid tools. You'd to hold down both keys firmly and long enough, until the First Aid panel will appear.
Try both the options "Repair Permissions" and "Rebuild library". Then try again to migrate the iPhoto Library to Photos by dragging it onto the Photos icon in the Dock.
Make sure, you have plenty of free storage. Don't try the migration, if you are running out of storage.

How to get notification that a mail has been read

Is there any way to use Java mail to tell if a mail that you sent has been read?

I think you are asking too much....
ok fine i will put that in a different way...see for sending mails you are using JavaMail right.... and u might be sending mails to other mail servers say yahoo.com or hotmail.com...or anithing else... so when the person at the other end reads the mail...say yahoo.com... yahoo server knows that the mail is read... so it is impossible to reply back automatically to the person who sent the mail...
yeah it is very much possible if this is with in the server...say withing your organisation like <[email protected]>...so that u are implementing both the parts i mean reading mails and writing mails... so the control is in your hand.
I hope I am very clear...
all da best

How can I delete a .mpg video clip that has been "processing" for weeks?

Weeks ago I loaded a 380mb .mpg video clip using Express Loader that is still "processing". I want to delete it but cannot because the software produces an error message notifying me that I can't delete it until processing is complete. Obviously the "processing" is stuck. Suggestions on how to get rid of it? Thank you.

Have you seen recent email from Adobe about how Photoshop.com service is being transitioned to Adobe Revel? It is actually no longer possible to upload new files to photoshop.com. I checked your account and see the migration process has been initiated, which is probably why you do not see behavior you expect.
