Mac Forum / Applications / Entourage / August 2006Don't send read receipt with Entourage 2004 + Exchange Server?
I am using Entourage 2004 with Exchange Server 2003. Everytime somebody send me a mail and is requesting a read receipt Entourage is sending a read receipt without asking. Is there a chance to turn this off? I already connected to my account with Outlook an a PC and turned it off, but Entourage ignores that and keeps sending a read receipt. Any suggestions? Regards Oliver This is one thing I haven't been able to accomplish - all I know is that it is happening at the server, it's not Entourage doing it. I would very much like to disable this 'feature'.

When I use Outlook on a PC to connect to my mailbox I am able to deactivate the read receipt in Outlook. As long as I read my mails with Outlook everything works fine. But as soon as I start reading my mails with Entourage, Entourage starts sending read receipts again :-( Oliver > This is one thing I haven't been able to accomplish - all I know is that it > is happening at the server, it's not Entourage doing it.

It's in Outlook under Options as Delivery Notification. I can't find it in Entourage. It must be there somewhere even Groupwise (ugh) had that. I occasionally need confirmation that my email is getting to a client or co-worker. Thanks Anyone? Entourage doesn't have that feature built-in, but you can manually add the Return Receipt header to request one. Instructions for doing so are here: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/faq_topic/return_receipt.html> On 8/24/06 10:56 AM, in article 1156434985.401423.55670@i42g2000cwa.googlegroups.com, "lvogt" > I have the opposite problem.

SignatureMichel Bintener Microsoft MVP Office:Mac (Entourage & Word) ***Always reply to the newsgroup.*** Thank you for the info but what are you waiting for? Add this feature. How hard can it be? It seems like a real oversight. It's an option after all. No one would have to use it. MS managed it in Outlook. Les Vogt > Entourage doesn't really have an easy or convenient of doing this.

How hard can it be? You seem to be confused here... MVPs do not work for MS. None of us can add any feature. We are just regular users like yourself: http://mvp.support.microsoft.com If you want the feature, use the Send Feedback command in Entourage (Help menu) to let MS know.

Which "you" are you speaking to here, Ivogt? Nobody who has answered you works for Microsoft. The article that Mickey and Michel sent you to unfortunately does not explain why it's not in Entourage. The reason why is that it's an almost useless feature which gives people false assurances, always a bad thing: 1) It doesn't work when the receiving email client does not have an automatic service that sends a reply. (Not only Entourage - there are many, many other other email clients which don't reply.) Therefore, if you don't get a reply you may incorrectly think it wasn't received, 2) It doesn't tell you that the recipient read the message anyway, only that his email client _received_ it. Therefore when you get the reply you may incorrectly believe that he read it when he hasn't. So - bad both ways round. It's a really feeble protocol, and good that Entourage does not (pretend to) implement it. The fact that Outlook implements it is an indication that the Outlook developers, unlike the Entourage developers, seem to think that everybody else in the world uses Outlook, which they don't. The Entourage developers, being on a "minority" platform, know better, and are smarter in not implementing it. To be a bit fairer, the Outlook approach probably reflects the fact that, originally, back in Office 95 for PCs, Outlook was an extension of an earlier client that worked only as intranet - something you used only with other people on your own Exchange server. Outlook started life doing the same thing - there used to be two modes - one for "Workgroups" on an Exchange server, and another for "Internet". There were some poor decisions made when Outlook was extended to the Internet, that shouldn't be there. This is one of them - it's inaccurate and unreliable, since it assumes that everyone can do it, which they can't. You're much better off just not using it, since it cannot be relied upon. And that's why Entourage does not implement it.
