How do you set up read receipts in mail on OSX Mavericks? I've looked under settings for the mail app but can't see anything that I can 'turn on' to get an indication when an email has been read. Thanks for any responses in advance.......

Hi, there.
Unfortunately, there's no such feature on Mail. No version of it has ever had.
Besides that, read receipts are not good at all. It is up to the recipient whether or not to send a receipt. So you will never know if the recipient never read the email or just didn't send a receipt.

Mail doesn't support read receipts unfortunately. Are you a Gmail user? If so you can use 3rd party email tracking services. They're much better than a read receipt. The recipient of your email doesn't need to acknowledge the read receipt. The tracking just happens in the background.
You can check out ContactMonkey and Boomerang. ContactMonkey is stealthy email tracking for Gmail whereas Boomerang offers a traditional read receipt. They both have free options.
Hope that helps!
