Receipt requests

[tonnelier]

Hello All

Is there a feature in PocoMail to prevent receipts for read/opened messages being sent? I've looked in Tools>Options and a quick look in the forum but can't find anything? (Apologies if this has been dealt with previously)

Thanks!

Have a look at Request return receipt tonnelier, especially Michael's post.

Thanks Eric for your speedy reply - maybe I wasn't clear or I'm slow today, but what I was after was a feature to prevent people sending an email to me obtaining a receipt that I'd received the message. There doesn't seem to be a simple click as in Windows Mail for example, "Never send a Receipt" or so I have to create a script?

You're welcome Tonnelier.

I never receive such messages , but tried it today and Barca Pro didn't ask anything.
I suppose it's suppressed, unless you use that script, return_receipt.poc.

People will always use that function, so you can't prevent that.
I do use it too at work for confirmation on important messages.

I'll try it out tomorrow at work, so I'll know for sure if Barca Pro will ask anything.

Thanks Eric, that's really helpful. BTW, I use PocoMail, not Barca, so it's on PM that I like to prevent receipts being sent.

Thanks, have a great evening.

Whether it's Poco or Barca, that won't make any difference.

Thanks, have a great evening.

Same to you Tonnelier & till tomorrow.

Just tried it here at home with 2 other email clients.
One set to request a return receipt and the other one to request a delivery receipt and a return receipt.

Never did Barca Pro ask me to confirm/send anything, nor did I receive a delivery receipt.

Next test is Outlook at work.

PocoMail/Barca does not respond to return receipt request; therefor there is no need for a "Never send a Receipt" setting.

PocoMail/Barca does not respond to return receipt request; therefor there is no need for a "Never send a Receipt" setting.

Indeed, I came to the same conclusion after sending those messages from several email clients.

So is there a way to have PocoMAil send a return receipt? I like to have the option to send a receipt if one is requested. It's been that way with me for a long time with email. I'm looking for an email client to replace Windows mail since Windows 7 doesn't come with an email client, and I always had problems with Office Outlook and my 60+ email accounts.

Pocomail seems good but if it doesn't give me the option to send a receipt when requested it's a huge strike against it for me to use it.

Hi aaronwt & welcome to Poco Forums,

So is there a way to have PocoMAil send a return receipt?.

See my above answer:

I suppose it's suppressed, unless you use that script, return_receipt.poc.

Only available to registered users.

Hope that helps.

I also wish to have this installed on my Pocomail 4.8.
So, I tried to download the file (being a registered user). No way! I am just getting the "information" and "how to" file, but not the script itself!
Any help?
Thank you in advance!
