when you send someone an email how do you find out if they opened it?

Answer 1

In Microsoft Outlook, you have the option of asking for a "read receipt". This will pop up in your inbox after the person on the other end reads the email. It gives time and date the email was opened. But you have to turn this option on.

Answer 2

To be notified about all messages

In Microsoft Outlook, on the Tools menu, click Options.
Click E-mail Options.
Click Tracking Options.
Select the Read receipt or the Delivery receipt check box.


To be notified about a single message

In Microsoft Word, in the message, click Options.
Under Voting and Tracking options, select the Request a delivery receipt for this message or the Request a read receipt for this message check box.

Answer 3

If you are using outlook express it is possible with "request read receipt" function,

A message sender can configure Outlook to receive a read receipt, which is a message sent to the sender when the recipient opens the message. To request a read receipt, perform the following steps:

1. Create a new message as usual.
2. From the View menu, select Options.
3. Under "Voting and Tracking options," select the "Request a read receipt for this message" check box.
4. Click Close.

Answer 4

i know in outlook express you can do a return receipt so you know when the person read the email, but also the person reading the email can avoid the return receipt. I am not sure you can do a return receipt in yahoo....

Answer 5

In Lotus Notes & Outlook express they have the option "notify me when msg is rec'd./read/opened" available in the options menu. But not in most of the other mail programs. Check your preferences/options tabs. Good luck!
