How to do read receipts

I can find ways to do for mac os 10.3 and so on, but not on 10.4. I am using 10.4.6 and really need to have a way of having read receipts to work. I am on about getting them not sending them back to others emails. I want to mark emails to have read receipts - is this possible in mail?

There is a way to convince Mail in Tiger to always request a delivery notification (if the recipients' mail client supports that feature and the recipient has not turned them off)
Note: the following relies no undocumented features of Mail and I don't take any responsability if things break for you...
• Quit Mail
• Open Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/)
• Enter the folowoing text (make sure to keep all quotes exactly as is!)
defaults write com.apple.mail UserHeaders '{"Disposition-Notification-To"="your@address";}'
(of course, using your correct email address instead of "your@address")
• All future messages sent with Mail will now include the Disposition-Notification-To header which is the one asking for a return receipt.
If you wish to turn off this feature in the future, type the following in the Terminal:
defaults delete com.apple.mail UserHeaders

How to get Read receipt in gmail app on iphone 4s?

I have gmail app on my iphone 4s but i do not get read receipt option while sending mail kindly advise

You can use 3rd party services to use read receipts with Gmail. Companies like ContactMonkey (www.contactmonkey.com) and Spypig offer email tracking for Gmail and Outlook. They're both pretty easy to use.
Happy tracking!

How to disable read receipts

I have just realized that my iPhone responds to read receipt requests by happily confirming when I've opened the message. I find that both a privacy invasion and a security issue, as well as something that contributes to spam increase. Is there a way to turn it off?

This is a more serious issue because any junk mail using randomly generated e mail addresses is automatically getting confirmation that it has chanced upon a valid address. This single issue has stopped me ordering over 1000 iphones for my company.

How to Request Read Receipts in Mac OS X Mail

Hi
Would like to be able to know when the people I send email to actual read that email I send them. Is it possible to setup a option in mail so you get a receipt from the person who reads your email.
Thanks

Mail doesn't support read receipts. But you can do an "all or nothing" deal using Terminal:

Permit internal Read Receipts but prevent them from exiting organisation

http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2011/02/23/3412028.aspx
Above article explains how to delete Read Receipts in Exchange altogether.
Can I use Exchange to allow Read Receipts between internal users within the organisation but prevent read receipts from being sent to external mail addresses? Case in point is to prevent spammers from confirming live addresses within the organisation.
So we want to know if anyone has read our emails; we want to know if we've read each others emails and if the outside world has read our emails but we don't want the outside world to know whether we've read their emails.
I'm getting the impression that the functionality supported in Exchange means that you can only configure a rule like this on a separate gateway (front end?) if you want only external affected and you cannot specify the direction (i.e. allow incoming read
receipts but delete outgoing read receipts).

Hi,
From your description, you want to prevent the external users from receiving the read receipts of internal users.
You can create the following transport rule to achieve it. (Note: Because we use the "Read" as subject key word, it will delete the messages whose subject contain "read", please pay attention to use it.)
What's more, I have a test in my lab. If I choose "Read:" as subject key word, the transport doesn't work. When I choose "Read" as subject key word, it works.
Besides, to force an immediate update of transport rule, you can stop and start the Microsoft Exchange Transport service.
Hope it helps.
If you need further assistance, please feel free to let me know.
Best regards,
Amy

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 :/

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.

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.

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.

How do i get a read receipt for email

How do I get a read receipt in mac e-mail?

There is a workaround, but it's not reliable, so I don't recommend it.
Email receipts are not a standard feature of email. Some email programs support it, some don't. If someone reads email online (ie, in webmail), no read receipt is created. Even if someone uses Outlook (which supports it), they have to turn the send-receipt feature on.
So if you don't receive a receipt, you can not, unfortunately, know for sure that the message was not read.
