Dear all,

Can I be notified (silently) if the receiver had read the email I have sent for him??
like in sensitive cases you need to know this information.

How and Can it be done in programming ?

Thanks and regards

U need to trap the status of the mail when it changes from UNREAD to READ and send a read receipt / acknowledgement back to the sender automatically with the read time without intervention / knowledge of the mail receiver.

this feature is already available with all the mailing tools but not with all mailing sites.

Just because you request a receipt, does not mean you will get one in return. Not all e-mail applications support the read receipt option, meaning your recipient may never be asked to provide one. In addition, recipients have the option to block each or all read request confirmations from being sent.

Can i know how you do it ?
