HT2500 I want to know if an email I sent has been opened.  How do I do this

I want to know how to get a notification that an email I sent has been opened.  How do I do this

Short answer, you don't.
There's a pseudo-standard for read receipts that purports to tell you, but it's easily circumvented, either by the recipient using a mail client that doesn't support the 'standard' (hint: most don't), or by the recipient turning off read reciepts. In short, not getting a read reciept does not mean the message wasn't read, and therefore the whole concept is junk.
There are some other options that might get you further along... for example, if the message includes images or other HTML content then you could check the web server logs and track back who requested the image content. This does, of course, require that the user has their mail client set to display images and 'rich content' - if they don't download the image you can't know.
If the recipient is in your domain (or in a domain you control) then you could query the mail server logs - you'll see the message saved to the user's mailbox and can be pretty sure it's downloaded to their mail client the next time they POP or IMAP in. However this only implies it was delivered, not read, and is only valid for mail domains you control (you don't have this level of visibility into other mail servers).
At the end of the day, the only foolproof answer is: ask.

    Since this question is about a Microsoft product, you might have more luck getting suggestions if you ask in Microsoft's own forums.

  • Mail - how do I know the e-mail I sent has been received?

    Is there a setting in Mail that sent an automatic reply back to me when the recipient opens the e-mail that I sent them??

    I don't know of any email program that will do that, unless it is a client of Lotus Notes or some other proprietary email system. However, part of the process of sending an email is acknowledgment so you know the message got sent and is sitting on the recipient's server. After that, there is no way to know if your recipient ever logs in and gets the message.

  • Two of our computers using the same emails won't communicate when an email has been answered, how do we fix this?

    My coworker and I answer emails in 2 shared work emails and I have access to my personal email and her's to answer work questions. Lately when she answers an email in our orders inbox, and marks it off as answered with our assigned highlight, it won't transfer the info to my computer's inbox. I'm left thinking they're still unanswered. We've been double-answering many customers which seems strange and shouldn't happen. How can we get them to communicate more efficiently again. This has only been happening the past couple of months.

    Have you followed the rest of the instructions on the TS2446 page that you posted from e.g. you've logged out of your account on your phone by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then logged back in ?
    If that hasn't fixed it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • I want to delete my admin user from this laptop as it has been sold. how do I do this?

    I have sold my laptop and want to delete my information from it. How do I go about doing this?

    I would reload the OS from install disks, and pass on thse install disks (as is required anyway) as Leopard disks are harder to come by these days.
    That way you can reformat with zero-out option (removes anything you do not want seen by others) and "starts fresh".  If you shutdown the system right before the final restart of the install process, it will be ready for them to make their onw account with their own name right in front of them.

  • After upgrading to Firefox 4.0.1, it no longer will open external links - anything from emails, IMs, databases won't open - how can I fix this?

    No links from external programs will open - this is usually kind of ok since I can cut and paste, but some links from databases don't provide copy-able links, meaning I cannot access information via Firefox.

    Hi BladedxRayne,

  • I want to know at what date current material period is opened

    I want to know at what date current material period is opened
    How I can find this.

    Hi,
    Its all depends on business and business owner decision. There are few options available by business and company follows it.
    Option- > 1: Few Companies follows it strictly by having a u201CScheduled Programu201D for background job for closing period /opening new period at by sharp time (31st mid night at 12.00AM ie,.,,,,,,1st date of  1st minutes of the month)
    Option- > 2: Few Companies follows every month 1st day or as per business needs all transaction needs to be posted till 1st day till 6.00PM
    Option- > 3: Few Companies follows to wait two or three days every month as per business needs all last month transaction needs to posted.
    You can cross check the details of new opening period with date of opening  in MMRV table in t.code: SE16
    NOTE: Do not reset anything in OMSY. In OMSY setting is done once for all to company code for material management.
    Regards,

  • How will i know if an itunes email gift card has been redeemed by the recepient? do i get a notification?

    I just want to check if the iTunes email gift card has been redeemed (without directly asking the recepient themselves). Is there a way to check that? Would I get an email notificaiton when the gift card is redeemed?

    You can't log into any site and see your account's balance. You can log into your account on your iPad via Settings > iTunes & App Store - on my iOS devices my balance shows at the bottom of, for example, the Featured tab in the App Store app under my account id (or you can view your account via Settings > iTunes & App Stores and it should show on the screen that you are taken to). You may not see anything if your account's balance is zero.
    Not sure what you mean by relationship iTunes has to products. You can buy music, films, TV shows, audiobooks via the iTunes app on your iPad, and apps via the App Store app - what you buy will be tied to your iTunes account.

    Try connecting to iTunes via USB and Restore.  There are reports of this working with non-contract AT&T iPhone 5s.

    US Verizon iPhones are also reported to be unlocked.

  • I keep getting an error message trying to setup my imap email accounts on my new ipad air. Says user name or password is incorrect but I know for a fact they are correctly entered. How do I correct this?

    I keep getting an error message while trying to setup my imap Gmail and Aol  accounts on my new ipad air. The error says user name or password is incorrect but I know for a fact they are correctly entered. How do I correct this?

    Hi Allan, thanks for that. I've already set up a log in for my wife and that is all working fine. The problem is that when she logs in and opens iTunes and trys to associate her library with her iTunes account she gets the error message "This computer is already associated with another iTunes account". Whilst this is true, the computer is associated with my iTunes account under my separate log in, which should have nothing to do with hers. If she transfers the association to her account it will lock me out of my content on my log in for 90 days - I'm trying to work out how to associate each of the log in accounts with a separate iTunes account so we can access our music independently of one another without locking each other out. Hope that makes sense!
