How can I set a "Read Receipt" so that I know my emails have been opened?

I have Mail 2.1 and have gone through all the menus and cannot figure out how or what I need to do to get a read receipt email to find out if the messages I have sent to certain recipients have been opened. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks so much!

The Mail.app does not include this feature nor does it provide a read receipt without your knowledge when requested by the sender of a message. There is a Terminal command you can enter to request a read receipt for every sent message but not by individual message.
Keep in mind, if the recipient's email client supports providing a read receipt when requested by the sender of a message, the recipient also has the ability to deny providing a read receipt for messages read if requested by the sender.
I use Windows Outlook at work and I don't request a read receipt for sent messages nor do I provide it when requested by the sender of a message.

    That is not a feature of the Mail app. Check with your email provider to see if it's a service they offer.

    mail how do i set a read receipt for messages I send

    Hi Sunny
    There's no built-in option, and the workaround is rather complex. I would advise against it, since "read receipts" are not a standard part of the email protocol, and most email clients cannot return receipts or have it turned off anyway.

    Here you are in a forum dedicated to Pages for OSX.
    Most of us don't use Pages for iOS.
    Better ask in the iWork for iOS forum :

  • How can you set up more than one device on iTunes. I have an iPad, iPod, itouch and iPhone. I don't want the same on all devices.

    How can you set up more than one device on iTunes? I have an iPad, iPod, itouch and iPhone. I don't want the same on all devices. I have all my music/videos on iTunes on my mac book pro. Can you set up separate folders for each device and drop in what ever music/videos from the main iTunes library?

    In itunes it is called syncing and you can choose exactly what content to sync to all devices and it can be different for all of them

  • How can I set up my contacts so that I do not see all of them on ipad from iCloud?

    How can I set up my contacts so that I do not see all of them on ipad from iCloud? I don't need/want to view contact info for casual contacts on the ipad. (I.e. contacts entered so that I can identify a caller for ID/screening purposes)
    Also would like to limit email contacts from yahoo- no need to view emails for every "safe list" address.
    Thanks!

    You have to change it using iTunes on your computer, as explained here: Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID) - Apple Support.  (This article: iCloud: View or change your iCloud payment information no longer works with iOS 8 or Yosemite.)

  • How can I set Firefox to print to PDF, the only otions I have are (1) My Canon printer, (2) Fax or (3) Microsoft XPS document writer. There is no option for PDF

    A couple of weeks ago, from the file menu, in my print options was to print a web page to PDF, that facility is no longer there. does anyone know how can I set Firefox to print to PDF.
    The only options I have are (1) My Canon printer, (2) Fax or (3) Microsoft XPS document writer. There is no option for PDF

    Firefox generally displays the printers in Windows' Printers folder (Start orb > Devices and Printers). If it is missing one of the printers listed there, could you indicate which one it is, for example, Adobe Distiller, PrimoPDF, CutePDF Writer, etc.?
    If you previously had an add-on which added print-to-PDF functionality just to Firefox, perhaps it got disabled. You could check here:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions
    Also, are you really running Firefox 8.0.1? That version from last November is no longer secure and has been superseded by Firefox 11. If you browse the web widely, you should update for your security.

  • How can you set Thunderbird to accept multiple attachments, particularly when selecting "email" in Windows Gallery with T'bird selected as default email

    Using Windows Gallery to send email photos - wioth each selection T'Bird opens a new email form. How can I set T'Bird to accept multiple attachments (similar to Gmail ).
    Using W'Gallery has the benefit of rteducing size of emailed pic to a few hundre kb.
    Thanks

    You best ask the windows gallery people. Thunderbird opening more than one window is based on yhow the request is made, not on Thunderbird,
    Selecting multiple files in explorer simply adds them to a mail, therefore the Windows gallery is the problem.

  • How to edit content in a cell - how can u set a shortcut to do that

    so i have been left clicking to change the content. how do you do that on the keyboard? i found a list of shortcuts under some menu in numbers, but i couldnt set the shortcuts myself
    thanks alot, this will save me soooo much time

    There is a partial solution to this that will allow you to enter the formula editor for any selected cell from the keyboard:
    1. In System Preferences, select the "Keyboard Shortcuts" section of the Keyboard & Mouse" preference.
    2. Click the plus box button below the list to add a shortcut.
    3. In the drop down sheet, from the "Application:" popup that defaults to "All Applications," choose Numbers if it is listed (it probably will not be) or if not, scroll to the end of the list & select "Others..." & navigate to Numbers in the Application folder & choose it. (The basic idea is to create an application-specific keyboard shortcut for Numbers.)
    4. In the "Menu Title:" text box type "Formula Editor" (without the quotes)
    5. Select the "Keyboard Shortcut:" box & press the keys for the desired keyboard shortcut. This can be anything that includes one or more modifier keys (Command, Control, Option, etc.), but to prevent conflicts, choose something not already in use & not something that would be a character you would want to enter in a cell.)
    6. Click the "Add" button, then scroll down in the shortcuts list window to the "Application Keyboard Shortcuts" section, click the triangle to show them, & check that the shortcut is listed, & that not yellow warning triangle appears, signifying a shortcut conflict.
    7. If Numbers is running, quit & relaunch it so that the shortcut will take effect.
    As noted above, this only helps with cells that have, or will have, formulas in them. It works exactly like the menu command Insert>Function>Formula Editor: If the cell does not currently have a formula but some literal value, the formula popup will not include it, & if you then click the "Accept" button, type a return, tab, etc., the literal value will be replaced. If the cell already has a formula, the formula popup will not replace it but instead will move the insertion point to after the last character in the existing formula.
    The same technique will work for adding keyboard shortcuts to any other Numbers menu item.
    Had there been an "Enter cell editor" (or something like that) menu command, presumably this would have allowed a complete solution, but there doesn't even seem to be an official name for doing that -- the documentation refers to it only procedurally, as in 'click again' or the like. Obviously, there is no need for the menu item other than for this, so a complete solution will have to wait for a new version of the app.

  • How can I set up a smart album that looks for keywords?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm in the middle of a rethink on my image management and am wanting to setup smart albums that will search for and display images that have a certain keyword. When I create a new smart album to do this, I'm only given the ability to choose to search for rating and calendar criteria; the keywords and import session options are greyed out. My images have keywords assigned, so where do I go from here?
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    OK, a step forward. It seems that if I create a smart album it will only look for keywords in the project that it is contained in.
    Perhaps someone can help me then: I keep a collection of albums for each person that is featured in a photograph. These albums are stored outside of the projects that the images are stored in so I can have a collection of images that show person X from all the different shoots.
    What I want to do now is keyword each image with the person's name (as a keyword) and then have a Smart album that will pick out all of their photos from my entire library, not just a certain project. How can I do this?

  • How can i set the number of results that can be displayed on the page

    hello im just wondering how i can set the numebr of results that can be dispaleyd on the jsp, when the there are more than 5 results i want the suer to press more
    how is this odne could anyone send me a example code?
    and also how can i get results from the query displayed as select list options, so that when they press one of teh results it goes to correspnding page
    Thank you

    Hi,
    I assume that you have the connection to the DB.
    You can try this code.
    Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
    String sql = "<some sql code for selecting>";
    ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
    rs.last();
    int count = rs.getRow(); // this is the number that shows how many numbers you have after select query
    rs.first(); //we moved cursor again to the begining of the results.
    if (count > 5) {
    for (int i=0;i<5;i++) {
      //as an example
      rs.getString(0);
      rs.getString(1);
      rs.getString(2);
    out.print("<a href='morePage.jsp'>More</a>");
    else {
    for (int i=0;i<count;i++){
      //as an example
      rs.getString(0);
      rs.getString(1);
      rs.getString(2);
    rs.close();
    stmt.close();I hope this would help you.
    If you have problems let me know..
