525620 2007-02-19 00:48:00 Hi all

I have outlook 2003 and i would like to enable read receipts on all emails sent from one account.

Is this possible? as i can only find how to enable it on either a per message basis or for all accounts

Thanks 		Morgenmuffel (187)
525621 2007-02-19 01:18:00 Nope I cant see it in Outlook, only in OE under tools/options/receipts.

Altho here (support.microsoft.com)

It says

WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, select read receipts to confirm that the recipient has opened the message. To do this:
1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
2. Click E-mail Options.
3. Click Tracking Options.
4. Click to select the Request a read receipt for all messages I send check box, and then click OK.

But I cant see 4 in mine. 		Speedy Gonzales (78)

I can do the above, however it then does it for all email accounts in outlook whereas i only want it to do the read receipts on a single account,

Oh well, might have to do it manually 		Morgenmuffel (187)

525624 2008-03-27 02:40:00 You can do it with Outlook. I have Outlook 2000.
Tools - Options - Preference (tab) - email options. Then choose tracking options button there. "Request a read receipt".

The problem with read receipt is that its not automatic, the recipient is given the option if they want to send you or not .... they can just say don't send one and is still able to read your email.

With my version not sure if it can be done with rules. 		Nomad (952)

Can you tell us how? 		gary67 (56)
525626 2008-03-27 05:39:00 Can you tell us how?I second that, I still haven't figured out how to do it for only one account, it's either all or nothing, and can see nothing in the rules section that would allow me to do this Morgenmuffel (187)
