E-Mails

[raguvun]

I would like to set up my emails in microsoft outlook such that I receive a confirmation from the receipent once the email has been read. How is it done?

This is possible in some setting somewhere, but personally I'd advise against it, beacuse it isn't really that reliable. The email protocol wasn't really setup to do this intrinsically, and hence it doesn't work too well.

Click on Tools>Options>Receipts>and tick the box to request a receipt for all read messages.

<DIV>A free program http://www.msgtag.com/home/ will do exactly that and is very reliable. It does however place a tag line at the bottom of your outgoing mail. Nice signature facility though. I like it, others don't..have a look for yourself. It does actually work very well!

the problem with the Outlook facility asking for receipts is that recipients can choose not to send one and it is possible to set outlook to refuse receipts by default so anyone that has done so will never send a receipt as it won't ask them for one.
