Mail App return receipt

Can you set up the mail app in Panther to give you a return receipt for outgoing mail?

There is a plugin for Jaguar/Panther Mail called MailPriority which can be downloaded at the following link.
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/14967
MailPriority is a plug-in for Mail.app on 10.2 and 10.3 providing a simple interface to set Priorities for outgoing messages, colorize messages in the message list and to request read receipts. (You only get a receipt, if the receiving mail client supports this feature and the recipient enables this option.)

Apple Mail and return receipts

Hi,
Since Apple Mail and Calendar in Mountain Lion appear work seamlessly with Exchange, I've dropped Outlook in favor of the native Apple apps. But the one problem I have is return-receipts. Our voice-mail system at work emails me voicemail messages and uses the return-receipt to indicate I've seen the message. That works perfectly on my iPhone and it worked in Outlook. I can't find any preference in Apple Mail to turn the return-receipt functionality on. I've also googled and I get lots of hits on how to get Apple Mail to request receipts but nothing on how to get Apple Mail to respond. Does anyone know how I can enable that functionality?

How can I BLOCK others from receiving return receipts on mail they send me?

I would rather others not know when I read their emails. Can Mail block return receipts?
I searched for an existing string on this and didn't find one. Excuse me if I missed one.

As Allan said, Mail does not support receipts, but sometimes HTML messages download images from a server, and this connection could be used to confirm that the message was opened. To prevent that,
Preferences > Viewing, Un-check "Display remote images in HTML messages".

Return Receipt Request

I can't seem to find the option to have "return receipt requested" on my mail program, since getting a mac book pro...
Is it sill an option and where to I find it?
thanks

still an option? this was never an option in Mail from GUI.
you can do it from terminal though.
run the following command in terminal
defaults write com.apple.mail UserHeaders '{"Return-Receipt-To" = "[email protected]"; "Disposition-Notification-To" = "[email protected]"; }'
and substituting "[email protected]" with your own email address. However, this will cause Mail to send a receipt request EVERY time you send an email.
also keep in mind that the email clients of your email recipients have to support receipt notification AND it has to be turned on. if they don't support it (Mail doesn't btw) or the feature is turned off this will not work and there is absolutely nothing you can do to get receipt notifications.

Return receipt plug in for Mac Mail software?

Return receipt for Mac OSX 10.4.6 build in email software “Mail” 2.0.7 (746.2/749.3) 2005 Apple Inc.
Is there a return receipt plug in for Mac Mail software? I want to know if my sent mail was received and know if the mail was opened.

Kboo,
in general not a good idea. This may cause loops with Out-of-Office responders and also not a very trustworthy confirmation.
Options are to use certified email servers as an intermediate (google to find many) or to request explicitly a written reply from the recipient.

Change "Return-From" field in mail.app messages

I need to be able to change the "Return-From" field in some of my outbound emails using the mail.app. I can't find a way to do this. Can anyone help? Here is what I am basically trying to accomplish:
I need recipients of the email to be able to select Reply and have the email come back to the same email address as the From field, but if they have an out of office turned on, or if the email is no longer a valid email address, I need those messages to go to a different email box so they don't clutter up the real messages that need to be worked.
Any suggestions or ideas are appreciated.

You can add any headers you want to Mail, with the defaults write com.apple.mail UserHeaders command in Terminal. However, it is easy to get it wrong, particularly if you already have added headers, so I would suggest you try Cricket's Applescripts for Mail, which includes one for doing it.
That said, is there a Return-From header? I cannot recall having noticed one.

How can I obtain a return receipt using Mail?

I have never had to use a password as the administrator of my imac. I simply clicked OK without filling it in and it worked just fine. I downloaded Mavericks, and I was asked to enter the password as the administrator. I cannot do so. How do I fix this?

I'm confused. Your question has NOTHING to do with the subject title.
1) You cannot obtain a return receipt using Mail. That functionality does not exist.
2) If your admin password is blank, then just hit return. I cannot believe you have NEVER seen an administrator password prompt in normal use of the OS, unless you've only used OS X for an hour total.

HT2500 How do I get a return receipt with Mail?

I want to be sure that someone reads the e-mail I am sending. In my old system (Windows Outlook) I was able to check a box to get a return receipt. I've looked all over Mail, including the help system, and can find no instructions on this. I can't imagine this important feature has been omitted from the program, but I cannot find it anywhere!
Terrible fail, Apple help!
Anyone out there know how to do this? Thanks for the help!
Best Regards,
Jim

Austin,
Thanks for the info. I was vainly hoping Apple actually had the feature in the program. Sadly, this looks like a fail all the way 'round. I know a return receipt doesn't guarantee anything, but it at least gives me some level of knowing someone got the message. Sadly, Apple simply doesn't support the feature.
Fail, Apple. Fail!

Mail - return receipt

Is there a way in mail to set up for a return receipt when the recipient either receives or reads the message sent to them? The mail box with the internet provider provides this functionality when I use their webmail application. The provider is FUSE with Cincinnati Bell

There's one third-party program I know of that works with Mail to provide this functionality - it's called "MailPriority":
http://home.tiscalinet.ch/david.frank/projects/mailpriority/
It works by setting the Disposition-Notification-To header (which you can do manually also). It's not fully functional, however, as described by the developer: "Sending receipt requests is not implemented yet (only requesting receipts from others)."
There may be other third-party solutions - you might try searching on the VersionTracker or MacUpdate websites.
You might also find this prior post helpful:

Good luck!

Return Receipt (Mail 3.3)

There are often times when I need to know if someone has at least received my email. Is there any way to get a return receipt for email that has been sent from Apple Mail 3.3? My work email allows me to check if I want a return receipt. I have looked in the help menu and may be searching the wrong terms because I can't find anything there.

I agree that (1) a return receipt feature would be nice, (2) that receiving email with a "return receipt" demand is annoying, (3) a return receipt that the recipient can decline AND read the email is worthless.
Thunderbird, which looks like a much smarter free client than Apple Mail, allows you to request a receipt on a case-by-case basis. I agree setting it globally makes one look rather overly anxious. Also, I'm not sure Apple Mail even honors incoming receipt requests!
I want something that works like old-fashioned certified mail: the recipient can sign for and read or decline and NOT read the message. I get date-stamped notice either way. It might also send you a notice that an email has not been picked up after a certain interval and has presumably been lost. This addresses the lost-mail scenario and is useful in the situation where the recipient pretends not to receive emails and blamed the sender (as you might suppose, a phone call is not a good alternative with such a person). The who-said-what-when can be invaluable, not just in litiagtion contexts but in figuring out where communication broke down so that it doesn't happen again. The log should be created automatically.
So, no email client can really fix this. (Apple mail should still have the option to request receipt!) The only way I can see for this to work is to go through a 3rd party. Ideas?
For now, yes, request a reply when it's important!!!!
One alternative I hate to mention is the "bug" the emails. Services such as didtheyreadit embed invisible images or html tricks in emails and report back every time the message is opened or forwarded, including time, date, IP address, and other details. Maybe this doesn't break the law in that it doesn't reveal private information about the person's computer etc. any more than their picking up the phone does, BUT I dislike it and think the recipient should, as with certified mail, have a chance to decline seeing the message altogether. Perhaps one could bug AND advise the recipient that you do so. At least it is automatic and provides a 3rd-person log that you can point to in a dispute and not be accused of fabricating. Not that I know personally, ahem, but it does work quite well provided the recipient doesn't know how to block it. Admissible in court? I'm not sure.

Return Receipt in Mail

Hi. Am I missing out on a feature which allows us to request a return receipt whn received, read, etc? I could use it right now.
I hope that Leopard Mail will feature it.
Thanks.

i have a follow up question. I continue to get return receipts from various recipients though i can't tell why. I've never used Terminal so I haven't entered any of that stuff. As others have noted, there's nothing in Mac MAil that seems to be doing this. Do you have any ideas why I get return receipts from all these people? I'd really rather not.
