I need to send an email to a solicitor who, apparently, has a habit of claiming not to have received emails when it suits him.
I was therefore wondering if there's any was to track an email to the recipient's inbox so that I can at least challenge them if they say it didn't arrive.
Thanks.

Apple Mail itself does not have a way to request receipts. Some email providers have that service, but all that can do is note delivery. Not if it was opened. The only reliable, legal means is to use regular mail and signature upon delivery.

There is a workaround to get Apple Mail to request a Return receipt, but that is pretty useless, my guess is 99% of people disallow the return, (which is in their power, not yours), & this Solicitor sounds like a prime case. 🙂
Yes, I read about some stuff you can do in a terminal window, but if it's still in the hands if the recipient it's pointless.
I think what I'd imagined was an automated response, similar to the way messaging apps tell you something has been seen or that someone is typing. But thinking about it, it would be a huge invasion of privacy. I wouldn't want every sender of every piece of spam to know what I'd done with it!
Spammers generally use an invisible 1 pixel gif located on a server that logs IP, eMail & such once you open the email & Mail automatically loads that pc from the server.

In most email clients, the recipient can turn off the auto download of images. I do .

How can I be sure someone's received my email?
