Is there a read/receipt function in mail?

and...?

Vastaaminen ei ole pakollista

even the word was wrong, the idea remains.

You can want a notification all you want. But that doesn't mean the universe or Apple will provide.

Barney's advice was the best. If the "delicate" matters are that important, use a mode of communication appropriate to that level of importance.

ik kweet het, maar je kunt beleefder zijn

I agree regarding your comment on Apple, and I am not asking Apple to provide it or complaining against.

But I disagree with the comment: "it's not all about what you want", for what I explained before.

Regarding Barney, if Barney would have written it in the same way that you are doing it, I would have taken it in a better way. However, he answered my initial question about if it was possible to have or not a confirmation of delivery.

If my english is not perfect, it is because is not my mother tongue, so apologies to you for that.

If it is really important you can use a commercial email service such as Constant Contact. It can embed tracking images in your outgoing mail. It isn't cheap, however.

But even if a tracking image is inserted into the email, it is no guarantee that you will get a confirmation, because it requires that the recipient enable display of linked images in their email client. I have this feature disabled in my email clients specifically to protect against tracking images.

There is essentially no way to know if ANY message is delivered and read, not just email. It's also true for text, Whatsapp, Symphony, or any other messaging app. Or for postal mail unless you send it Registered, Signature Required. And it's why legal process servers are still in business.

Hello!

Some business organizations using Exchange accounts do offer this feature, however, this is unavailable for most regular mail accounts. It is something that must be set up on a network administrators end. Furthermore, it would not be useful or efficient with the format of e-mail, save a few specific situations.

Are you accustomed to getting what you want at all times?, not so in the real world

Regarding to your first paragraph: unnecessary and probably annoyed reply with something that is obvious to do and does not answer the question. That should be the answer to a question formulated by someone who does not want to use electronic mail...anyway.

No, it means that the email protocol has no capacity to provide the function you want, regardless of which email client you or your recipients use.

There is a delivery notification scheme, but there is no requirement to implement it. Therefore, it is completely useless for your needs.
