Mail Delivery Notification

No. You'd need to use another eMail client software. Probably Entourage could do this.

But before you switch, think about the following:
Notifications can be disabled by the recipient.
There's no guaranteed way of making sure an email arrives. You can improve reliability by using GnuPG or something alike, but it will not replace a registered letter where it really counts.

I usually ask a simple, sometimes even non-related question in the end of important emails, so I have a chance of getting an answer if the recipient read through my whole email. If I don't get an answer in time, I always have a pretence to make a phone call.

Hi Timsmith23,

Like madconqueror said, do some serious thinking before you up and switch for receipt notification.

And Entourage is not the answer. It won't do it either.

Good Luck

Thunderbird will do this, but it has it's own shortcomings.

Well I find cat and grep pretty pretty...
Have a look at awk and sed.

Go to Unix Guru Universe for some hints on their usage and quite a helpful community.

Hi madconqueror,

Seems to me

> Here> it states that the Windows version of

Thunderbird supports notifications.

that they are referring to new mail notification on your computer, not return receipt...

You are correct about the Mac version (1.5.0.4) offering return receipt.

Maybe this a Windows only feature.

I used to use Netscape/Mozilla and I knew that they and Thunderbird offered this option.

Here is a link to a quick search I did over at the MozillaZine forums:

You could check this out.

If my post was misleading, I apologize.

Gyazmail has a toolbar button to choose if you want each message to have a receipt. It's shareware though.

Mail Priority - http://home.tiscalinet.ch/david.frank/projects/mailpriority/ allows this for Jaguar and Panther, hope they release a Tiger version.

Chibi Ninja Mail (shareware) does this too for Mail under Tiger.

You can do this in OS X 10.2.x up to 10.3.9 with the add-on mailbundle mentioned earlier, but there is no compatible version for 10.4.x yet, if ever.

But it is dependent on the recipient's email server supporting this feature (MS Exchange servers so support it) and their email client (usually Outlook) allowing it, because each user can disallow return receipts, if they know how.

Think I was mistaken, Chibi Mail seems to be a standalone client.

Gyazmail is a great program, but its search function *****.

When you receive a message that asks for a receipt, it shows you if you wanna send the 'read' receipt or not. It was my client of choice for months but the non-Spotlight search killed it for me.

Eudora mail client has a ReplyRequest button that works (if the receiver wants to confirm receipt that is).

Eudora is available for Mac (and Windows)
It's quite a powerful program that i've been using for years now...

A pity Mail doesn't offer this option!!
