Does anyone know of an email service provider that lets you know when a sent email has been read?

Nope. Outlook will tell you *IF* you are on the same network, but not if the person receiving it is on a different network. You can always request a confirmation that it has been opened, but the person receiving the mail gets a notice first letting them know that the sender has requested a confirmation and asking if it should be sent or not, and they can choose not to send the confirmation. The only exception to this is if both people are on AOL, then they will be able to look at the details of the sent mail to see if it has been opened. But if you're still on AOL you should really think of making some changes... there's a whole world out there, why let AOL/TimeWarner decide what's appropriate for you?

Reply:I do not think this is possible cause otherwise people have no privacy and you could know everything they were doing on the computer.

Reply:I don't think any regular provider does that because of privacy. You can only check it if you are within the same system like at work.
Reply:no. sorry.
Reply:For security reasons, no programs can do this.


If you use MS Outlook or Outlook Express you can do this!!


You just tick where it says confirmation of having been read!


But this is not fool proof as the person who receives your message will be asked if they want to send the confirmation that they have read it. If they say no, you will never know if they have received it or not!!
