Is there a way to track emails?

Can anyone please enlighten me as to whether there's a way to tell when the email you've sent to someone has been read? I'm using the Mac Mail program, and I've heard that other email apps will let you do this, but I don't seem to find a way to do this with Mail. Any help with this will be greatly appreciated!

This feature is known as return receipt. To turn on return receipt in Mac OS X Mail, follow these directions:

Note, if the recipient doesn't have that feature in their e-mail program, it may not work.

  • Attachment downloading--is there a way to track percentage of big downloads in Apple Mail 5.2? (OSX Lion)

    I have a satellite internet connection and have trouble with big downloads and connectivity in Apple Mail.  I've discovered the Window/Activity button to track the progress of those downloads, but all it gives me is a rolling barbershop bar that never goes anywhere.  Right now I'm trying to download fifteen attachments that came with a message, and some of the files (primarily pdfs) show up in their designated folders--others have not.  Is there a way to track percentage on these downloads?
    Also, each of the files seems to have three progress bars rather than just one.
    All files are primarily 3-4MB.
    Thanks,
    Melissa

    The inconsistent message text view and when the text for an received message is very small is caused by the sender using HTML for message composition.
    Copied from Why HTML in E-Mail is a Bad Idea.
    Because it introduces accessibility problems. When you write in plain text, the receiving mail client renders the text in whatever font the reader chooses. When you format email with HTML, the sender controls the formatting. But this is a trap: You only think your message will render the same way to the viewer as it appears to the sender. In reality, the receiver can end up squinting because the font looks so tiny, or vice versa. HTML is not rendered the same way from one viewing client to the next - all guarantee of accessiblity goes out the window. This is especially problematic for visually impaired persons.
    The Mail.app does not include a preference setting to convert all text for received messages to RTF or Plain Text so what John provided does not apply when receiving a message that was composed in HTML.
    You can do as woodie provided or with such as message open, at the menu bar go to View > Message and select Plain Text Alternative and what John provided will apply and it also applies when the sender uses RTF or Plain Text for message composition.

  • Someone stole my 27 imac, is there any way to track it?

    My 27" IMac was stolen.  is there any way to track it by using the serial number?

    Unless you had it registered with Find My Mac via iCloud or installed third-party anti-theft software, there is no way to track it. If you need to, take precautions by canceling credit cards, checking accounts, etc. from which financial and personal data can be used to steal your money or identity. If you had it covered by insurance report it to the insurance company. Terminate your old email address and get a new one.
    Otherwise, you are out the computer and whatever is on it.

  • Is there a way to track modifications within a specific field on a contact record?

    Is there any way to track and report on modifications that have been made to a specific contact field? We have an API synch set up with an external database. It currently writes to Eloqua when a customer initiates a change to their information in the external database. The field actually shows what they've changed on the external record. Since we're sending campaigns that encourage people to make these updates, I'd like to be able to run a report to show how effective our campaigns are, but since I don't have a snapshot of what was in the field before the campaign, I don't know how many people have actually made changes. Basically, I'm looking for a report that will show me "X" number of records were updated as a result of "XY" campaign.

    I had hoped Mr Number would keep up to date, but White Pages says they have no plans to further the app.  I asked them why they had 2 apps at this point.  They said it was because some people preferred the user interface of each one or the other.  I know that MN can import from contacts to the block list, WP does not.  Neither incorporate G+, only LinkedIn, Twitter, and FB.  Most all ID apps have done the same thing for me, especially with a social media account linked.  The only time I've had to do a look up is if it is just not found and I know I don't know who it could possibly be, or if it happens more than once.  Mobile numbers are weird though:  WP has found a couple automatically, MN would find it if I looked it up, but at other times, MN couldn't find a name to go with a mobile number.

  • Is there a way to track "pages viewed" progress with PDF's?

    Is there a way to track "pages viewed" progress with PDF's?
    Example: Student downloads a PDF from school portal -- Teacher can track who downloaded PDF, when and how many pages were view (where student stopped)? Similar to Flexpaper?

    The only other way I can come up with at the moment is by submitting the data via a URL to your server... The user will still have to allow the URL to be opened, though.

  • Is there a way to send email to different people at one time without having to reopen address list each time I pick one

    Is there a way to keep email address  list open when sending to multiple people. List closes after choosing one person, then have to open to send to next person, etc. etc.

    There is a way to create a mailing list.
    In the notes app create a list of email addresses separated by commas, i.e. [email protected],[email protected],[email protected]
    Copy the address list
    Create an entry in contacts for the list
    In the email field paste the address list
    When you send an email using the email list, you may get a message saying the email address appears to be invalid, select to send anyway.

  • Is there a way to address email (i.e. a word or some code) that would place that email in a specified inbox folder?  not using internal rule, rather the beginning of this sort happening as it comes in?

    is there a way to address email (i.e. a word or some code) that would place that email in a specified inbox folder?  not using internal rule, rather the beginning of this sort happening as it comes in?
    In other words
    I tell a friend if he is emailing me on a particular subject, is there something he can do at his end ([email protected]/research)
    like adding the word research at the end of my eamil address that would tell my inbox to place that in the inbox/research folder?
    If I have to use a rule on my end, then do I tell him to just place the word research in the subjct line and then I write a rule to place anything with the word research in the subject line in my inbox/research folder?
    will the subject line be required to only have the one word research to work, or will the rule look for any presense of that word in the subject line?
    thanks
    eric

    iCloud email supports 'plus' addressing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address#Address_tags
    So your friend could just add '+research' to the username part of your email address, and you setup a rule at icloud.com to put all emails sent to that address into a particular folder.
    For example:
    [email protected]
    There's no way to do it without rules on the server though.

  • Is there a way to track Admin usage of ANM

    Is there a way to track Admin usage of ANM (application network manager)?  We have a few servers running the ANM application.  Each ANM server points to/manages ACE blades (in the datacenter where the server resides).  I would like to understand how much the ANM gui is used for each of the servers.  I have looked through the GUI for some sort of report but wasn't able to find one.  Cisco ACS has the "Adminstration Audit" report which shows all admin activity of the application per admin user (per ACS server).  Is there an equivalent report for ANM?
    In addtion I would like to know how much of the ACE config activity is spawned via CLI versus the ANM gui.
    thanks in advance,
    BB

    Just click on:
    https://me.com/find/
    and enter your ID.  When it locates your iPod, it will allow you to turn on an alarm signal on your iPod which should let you find it.

    Not if you had not already installed and configured software for tracing it.  If you hadn't done that before it got stolen, your only option is to report it to the police and let them handle it.

  • Is there a way to track a lost iPod touch?

    I recently lost my iPod touch.  Is there a way of tracking it down?

    I have a feeling that I did not lose it at home, so it would not have an internet connection, so it would not help me.  If I change my Apple ID passwords here, will that at least lock it out of my account so that someone cannot access it?

    If your iPod was purchased with a credit card, check with the card company.  Some cards provide Purchase Protection insurance which will replace or repair any item lost, stolen or damaged within 90 days of purchase.

  • Is there a way to track down what type of content was sent in an iMessage?

    Is there a way to track down what type of content was sent in an iMessage?
    There was some data sent (that I saw from my cell phone provider) at around 7AM one morning while I was in bed.  I am concerned as to what this data was and would like to find out if it is possible to trace what the content was?  My cell provided indicated that they do not know what type of data it was.

    Hello Michael:
    I have not yet seen a
    good approach to using that information (short of
    deleting the account).
    better search some yourself Barry <G>
    if something runs fine in another account - one can isolate the cause to one of the plist files in the main acct Home/Library/Preferences/ or possibly an add-on in Home/Library/Internet Pug-Ins or ...Input Managers for example.
    If there is the same problem in the new acct - you can discount anything with the main acct user library - plists,caches,plugins,input managers, the whole lot.
    A useful tool is Console - found in Applications/Utilities/ keep it running while the 'problem' in question crops up & see if any messages pop up in either the system log or console log. Sometimes these will point straight at the problem area, other times no help at all.

  • Is there a way to track the delivered qty at the schedule line level in R3

    Hello Gurus,
    Is there a way to track the delivered qty at the schedule line level in R3.  I spoke to al ot of functional guys on this and the answer is NO. If NO,then, how does the 2LIS_11_V_SSL extractor extract the delivered qty at schedule line level. Help is really appreciated.
    Thanks
    Simmi

    Hi Simmi,
    I have used this extractor for the purpose you describe at more than one customer without problem. My understanding is that it links the order schedule line with the delivery, but I haven't tried to work out the mechanism.
    Regards,
