Apple mail read receipt plugin
A very specific question!
There isn't a built-in "Read Receipt" plugin for Apple Mail, but there are a few workarounds and third-party solutions you can use:
- Read Receipts with Mailplane: Mailplane is a third-party email client for Mac that offers read receipts. It's a paid app, but it has a free trial period. You can enable read receipts in Mailplane's settings.
- Read Receipts with Spark: Spark is another third-party email client for Mac that offers read receipts. It's a free app with optional paid upgrades. You can enable read receipts in Spark's settings.
- Read Receipts with Boxy: Boxy is a third-party email client for Mac that offers read receipts. It's a free app with optional paid upgrades. You can enable read receipts in Boxy's settings.
- Read Receipts with plugins for other email clients: If you're using a different email client like Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird, you can look for plugins that offer read receipts. For example, there's a "Read Receipt" plugin available for Thunderbird.
- Workaround using AppleScript: You can use AppleScript to create a script that sends a read receipt to the sender when you open an email. This requires some programming knowledge and is not a straightforward solution.
Keep in mind that read receipts can be a privacy concern, as they can reveal when someone has opened an email. If you're looking for a more discreet solution, you might consider using a different method to confirm receipt, such as a simple "Received" email or a phone call.
