How do I do that thing that gives you a read receipt for a sent e-mail? I can do it at work but not at home.?

Answer 1

Are you using Outlook or Outlook Express at home? You can do it with either of those, but not web based mail (yahoo etc)

Answer 2

It's never possible to ensure you receive a receipt when someone receives and/or opens an e-mail you send.

This is because the recipient or the recipient's e-mail server would have to send something back to you to tell you. They might not want to - after all it's up to them what they send, not you...

Microsoft Outlook makes you think it's possible because it's a default feature in that program - but you can switch it off.

Answer 3

If you are using Outlook, go to tools, then options, then preferences,then e-mail options, then tracking options. You will then see two boxes labelled Read receipt and Delivery receipt, just ensure that one or both are ticked.
I hope this is helpful.

Answer 4

Depends on what software you are using. In Outlook Express, create your new message and then from the Menu Bar select 'Tools'. From the drop-down list select 'Request Read Receipt'.

Answer 5

Are you talking about a confirmation when the reciepient opens your email? If so, then that depends on which Email client you are using....

I use Novell Groupwise so I can notify myself once the intended recipient received and opened the messeage (email). I do this when composing the email itself. There's options available there..

I need to know what your email client is (ie Outlook, Groupwise, etc.) so I can give you a better answer.

Answer 6

you can get it either in outlook express or incredi mail. go to tools/option/receipts and check on notify

Answer 7

It cannot be done using an Internet based email account (ie Yahoo).
