Hi Folks, I spoke with one of my work colleagues today, he is a mac specialist. I asked him if there is a read receipt in mac mail, he advised me that no there isn't however there is no reason why you couldn't setup a rule to send out an auto response when the email is received within your system.
This can however be a problem if you send a receipt to an out of office alert, which tthen sends back the same out of office alert, and so on and so on. So your rule would have to be very carefully written. However, if you use a mac connected to a Microsoft exchange server for email / calendaring etc. you could set the exchange server / your email account up to send out receits for any mail received into your account. Approx. 2000 staff using macs at my work and all of these connect either through EWS or Imap to the exchange server for mail etc and a large number of them use receits for acknowledgement. Just a couple of thoughts.We have -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Scott Howell Sent: Wednesday, 14 July 2010 8:08 a.m. To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Receipt Requests in Mail Mike, I understand that, but how do they use them? Do they send them with every message or expect you to send them with each message? Sounds a little overkill, but I am sure there is a reason.

I never respond to these because in nearly every case I have to respond to the message, so it would be like replying twice. It would seem that if there was sufficient demand, APple would have implemented this facility into Mail, but apparently its use is not significant. >> On Jul 12, 2010, at 3:04 PM, Michael Busboom wrote: >> >>> Normally, receipt requests aren't important to me, but they are to the organization for which I work.
