Re: Notification of receipt of e-mail

[Daniel Kerr]

A way that you may be able to do it is the following:-

1. Go to the Mail menu and choose Preferences.
2. Go to Rules
3. Click Add Rule (button on right).
4. Fill in the following details:-
a. Description (something like): Reply to 
b. Leave as if any of the following conditions are met
c. Change to "From" "Contains" (then fill in) 
d.  Change to "Reply to message" then Click "Reply message text". Fill 
in what you want. e.g. Thanks, your email has been received. I will contact you 
later if any queries".
5. Click OK.

Now when the message comes in the person should automatically get sent a reply.
NOTE: This will only work on the message the mail (computer) is received to, 
and if Apple Mail is open. If the computer is asleep and/or off and Mail is 
Quit, then the rule won't work. If that person only emails when you're actually 
at work and Mail is open,..then it should be fine. If they email you "outside 
of hours" and Mail is off, then the rule won't work. (Unless you had it on your 
 home computer as well)….

So it's not an exact way to do, as Ronni has mentioned Mail read receipts 
aren't supported in Apple Mail. (and even in other mail programs in Windows 
that have it, it can be bypassed and trick the system, so it's not exact there 
either,…).
Otherwise, if you have a work email address that uses a domain based system 
(e.g. like I have) then you may be able to set up a rule at the Cpanel host end 
similar to above. So when the server receives an email from that person it 
sends a reply. Some form of script. Some Cpanels don't do this though, as it 
can create headaches for other reasons.

Otherwise theres paid services that can "Track" email, which can then note when 
it's received etc. Personally i'd be a bit hesitant to use some of those 
myself, as it would then have to route the email so they can track it I'm sure.
This is one as an example…..

There are plenty more on a google search.

Notifications to emails received or "read" are a bit of a throw back to years 
ago. It doesn't actually mean the person has read the email, just that it got 
received or clicked on. The mail can still come in to the mail box and get 
marked as received,…that doesn't say some one has sat down and actually read 
the email,…lol :o)

But, if the person REALLY wants it,…then the above rule may work if you leave 
your computer on at work and email open,..and something comes in. That specific 
address would then activate the rule and a quick reply sent to them. 
Acknowledges that it arrives to your email program,..doesn't acknowledge that 
you read it though,…lol. :o)


Kind regards
Daniel

Re: Notification of receipt of e-mail

[Ronda Brown]

Mail read receipts are not supported by Apple Mail, and even in Microsoft 
Outlook 2011 Mac. 

But, You can make Mac OS X Mail request a read receipt for every message you 
send, by changing the way Mail.app works by using the command-line in Terminal. 
 

 But that is not what Stuart wishes to do, he wants to notify the person who 
has sent the 'Read Receipt' dthat he has received the email.

Cheers,
Ronni

Notification of receipt of e-mail

[Stuart Breden]

I have a consultant pharmacist who want me to acknowledge receipt of her 
e-mails.

Is there any way of me acknowledging receipt of e-mail other than replying to 
them?  Can't find anything in Mail Preferences?

We would like to wish you, your staff and your families a very happy Christmas 
and a safe and prosperous New Year 2013
