Sorry about this but I posted a question back in 6/9 that I believe was about
to be answered but got passed up because it took awhile for me to respond.

Please see below for posts on my original question:

**********************
Hello,

Is there a way in Outlook 2003 you can tell if the person you sent an email
to already read the email?

I know you can set up a read receipt but the person you are sending to can
also choose not to send you a receipt, so that doesnt really work.

We use to have GroupWise and in GroupWise I can go to my sent folder and
look at an emails properties to tell if it has already been opened.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Are you referring to email sent inside your company, or over the internet?
There might be enterprise solutions if you are using Microsoft Exchange
server to help with email inside your
own network, but as far as email sent outside your network, there is
currently not a way to monitor this.

Just within our company and yes, we are using Exchange.

Thanks for the reply.
 
Unless the user sends back a read receipt, you have no way of knowing.

Can I make it so all my users have to send a read receipt?
Right now the recipient is given a choice… we don’t want them to have a
choice. :o)
 
Yes, you can use a group policy object to enforce that setting as a policy. See http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/policies.htm

Note, though, that just because you get a read receipt doesn't mean that someone actually read the message. The user could just open and delete it.

I can live with that... Thank you once again!
