When you select the share to mail option in iPhoto, you are given the option to resize the photo.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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..
Edited by: EJP on 17/03/2011 16:54: added code tags. Please use them. Code is 100% illegible otherwise.

How can I request a duplicate receipt from an Apple Retail Store?

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone knows how I can get a duplicate receipt from a purchase I made at an Apple Retail Store (Convent Garden, UK).
Tried all means of contacting Apple but nothing seemed to offer an option for general questions and requests without making a more severe repair request and it doesn't seem that I can contact the store directly. And I'm in Portugal so going there is unfortunately not an option.
Thank you in advance,
Nuno

Hi,
Here are the store details. http://www.apple.com/uk/retail/coventgarden/
Have you tried calling them on +44 (0) 20 7447 1400 ?

How do i attache a read receipt to out ward emails

How do i attach read receipt message to my emails

Unless you know that the recipient's email software supports read receipts (which many don't) and is set to provide them (which many of the rest are not), the most effective way may be to type the text "Please let me know when you receive this message." as part of the message.

Mail on 2 macs - How to combine ?

I have an iMac with Mail (10.5.6) - and I have a G4 with mail (also 10.5.6).
My iMac has all my mail - in box and sent mail - since the year 2000. My Mac G4 only has the last year's worth.
I want to add all of my mail to the G4. I tried to just copy my mail folder from my user folder on the iMac - and then stick that into my G4 user account.
That messed up mail totally on the G4.
I then tried to export my mail from the iMac - into an INBOX.mbox file - but I only got a small amount of my mail.
Is there an easy -or just a good - way to combine mail accounts from multiple computers?
Dick

OK - I solved my own problem.
I copied the entire MAIL folder from my user folder on the iMac - rather than just the inbox.
I threw out the MAIL folder on the G4 - after backing it up to an external drive - and I replaced it with the MAIL folder from the iMac.
I clicked on the MAIL folder and ran "get info" - and gave myself permission to read and write.
And - it works.
Dick

How can I request a return receipt when sending email from Leopard Mail?

Has anyone found a way to request return receipts when sending email with Leopard Mail?

see this [link|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7244096&#7244096].
However,
this is only possible if the email client of the e-mail receiver supports this feature and it is turned on. if it doesn't support it or it supports it but the feature is turned off there is absolutely nothing you can do.

How to filter out inbound Read receipts but prevent prevent notification to sender

Greetings,
For Exchange 2007, we would like to prevent external users from sending Read Receipt requests to our users. In the Outlook client, we can easily disable this. But for EAS users, their smartphones send a reply as soon as the email is opened. I've
applied a Hub Transport rule to strip out the "Disposition-Notification-To" from inbound emails but this causes a different message to be sent to the sender, "Delivery to these recipients or distribution lists is complete, but delivery
notification was not sent by the destination:". As a test, I've now also unchecked "Allow Delivery Reports" for Remote domains, but will this work? Should both settings be applied to avoid generating the response to senders as noted
previously?
Thanks

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
