How to arrange laptop facility to advise when my sent email has been opened/read

[woofgang]

what mail program do you use? The receiver has to give permission for that information to be sent to you.

That sort of setting is usually configured in your e-mail client. However if the e-mail went via the Internet rather than a local company/home network then the far end probably isn't sending that sort of information back anyway. It's not in their interest to do so.

But e-mailing within the local network, acknowledgements can be set up by your IT department.

thankyou Woofgang Microsoft Outlook

In Outlook 2010 its:

File / options / Mail
Scroll down to Tracking
Check "For all messages sent, request: Read Receipt"
But that will only work if the recipient has enabled read receipts.
Many people (including me) configure their client to reject read receipt requests, because (a) they invade privacy, and (b) they are a bloody nuisance.

Thanks for all the advice. Have taken note, don't think I will bother.
Seemed a good idea at the time. Thanks again.
