'Read Receipt' for Hotmail.
Does anyone know how I check this for emails I have sent via Hotmail please?
I can see the option for incoming email 'How to respond to requests for read receipts'. But how do I check if someone has read an email I have sent? ![]()

I was waiting for someone able to answer your question to post before adding my comment. I've always thought that asking for a read receipt is a bit rude - implying that you think the recipient can't be bothered to read their emails, or to reply to you when they have.
Just my take on it.

Just my take on it. ![]() IME people refuse read receipts from people who send unnecessary messages or those that want to claim they never received messages. Usually to save their own incompetent behind. |

Using email, if u get a ''failed to deliver'' notice, that means there was no ''receipt acknowledged'' message back from the destination. However, there's no way to show whether received emails have been read ......

You are right that there is no way to show whether received emails have been read as it depends on the recipient opening and acknowledging. Auto-read receipt is just a setting on the sender's (outgoing) client. |
