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.

    That is not a feature of the Mail app. Check with your email provider to see if it's a service they offer.

  • 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 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.

  • Read receipt for messages sent

    I would like to be able to see when certain messages I send have been read. Is it possible to do this?
    TIA

    This is not possible with the stock setup of Mail in 10.4.8.
    Instructions are available for using Terminal to enable this, however. Proceed at your own risk.
    But these are instructions for enabling Mail to request a delivery receipt. It requires the recipient's cooperation. If you're looking for something that lets you know if a mail was delivered regardless of the recipient's behavior, that's different.
    For that you need a certified e-mail service that will let you know if a mail has been opened. Most of those require some kind of payment, I believe.

  • How do i set text to voice for messages

    I want my text messages to speak over my bluetooth while driving

    You can ask Siri to read the most recent unread text (e.g."Read my last message"). But, to the best of my knowledge, there is no way to have texts automatically read aloud to you.

  • In Mail, how can I get the type face for messages to be seen?

    By that, I mean when I open Mail and go to type an e mail message the type face is really quite small to the eye, yet it is set to be published as Tahoma 12. The only way I have found to enlarge it so that it can be read easily is to use Command and + or - as the case may be.
    Is there some way that the New message window can have a viewing size that reflects what is the type face being used? Or do I hve to have the window open as full screen?
    The same problem is there with new messages being received. The size in the message window is quite small and I can't be doing with manually enlarging it all the while.
    Thanks

    No. Screen resolution has no effect on the size of text in the new message window. It looks as if Mr Apple has done it again and produced something that is missing. Simple logical items so that things can be adjusted simply and easily. One pace forward and fourteen backwards.
    It would be nice if I could simply reinstall Mail on the principle that it is corrupt, but that can't be done or at least I can't see how it can be done with out reinstalling Mountain Lion again. I am certainly not going thru' that hoop again with one and half hours downloading it!
    I suppose the next thing is to get another Mail programme, but what is a good simple one to use on an iMAC?  Why do they have to make the things so difficult?

  • 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 do I get read & delivery receipts for messages?

    How do I get delivery & read receipts for messages?

    You can only get Read receipts if the person you are messaging has enabled Read Receipts in their own settings menu.
    Delivery notifications are on by default, and appear below the last message sent.
    Note that these only work with iMessage, the blue messages.

  • How to set up read receipts?

    how to set up read receipts?

    Mail can send a read receipt request:
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1183650
    However, note that read receipts are extremely unpopular, because of privacy issues as well as abuse by spammers (verifying addresses by using read receipts).  Most savvy users have this feature turned off, if their e-mail client even supports it, which many don't.  So not receiving a read receipt tells you absolutely nothing.  That makes the entire read receipt system pretty much useless.
    Mail will not, ever, respond to a read receipt request.
