If someone sends an email to a yahoo address that has read receipt capability, will a receipt be sent?

I think only if you accept and notify of the read receipt.\n\nFor confimation puposes www.readnotify.com is great for stealth confirmation. ( where the person is, time they read it, if it was forwarded and so on) It can be used for legal purposes as well.

(1) Goto the Tools Menu\n(2) Select Options\n(3) Click on E-Mail Options\n(4) Click on Tracking Options\n(5) Check "Request a read receipt for all messages I send\n\nThis works globally, i.e. on every message. You can also do it as a one-time shot by doing the following:\n(1) Click on the Options button\n(2) Check "Request a read receipt for this message

Yes. If you're sending a message from your PC to Yahoo! , anyone who controls the network from your PC to Yahoo, or Yahoo to their PC when the message is read can capture the packets sent and read them.\n\nIf you're sending something that needs to be secure, encrypt it with PGP or GPG before it leaves your PC.

This functionality is built into MS Outlook, but if you're using another program, I suggest trying a service like http://www.msgtag.com.  It is a free service, but won't work with web-based email.\n\nIt will attach itself to your email and let you know once someone has received and read your email.\n\nThis will only work with future emails, not with any emails you've already sent.  There's no way to know about those ones.

You really do not have the ability to see when someone has read an email they sent you unless you are using a corporate mail system that uses Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft Outlook and the recipient is in the same company as you are. If you're sending from a personal account or across to another mail network, it is not possible.

If you have the ability to preview a message before opening it (like in Lotus Notes, and Microsoft Outlook) , the receipt will not be sent back.  You can't NOT send the receipt back to the sender once you have opened it.  Some organizations, companies etc shut off the outgoing receipt so that is the only way a sender would not receive the receipt.  It is a good safety mechanism and more companies should be aware of this to protect employees, or students, or whatever.

No. That is a hoax. Yahoo doesn't operate through forwarded e-mails; it can send you an e-mail itself. Check out the sources below.

The others are correct that Yahoo! Mail does not allow for read receipts. However, even for programs that do allow read receipts, the recipient can simply refuse to send you the receipt.\n\nIf you sent the mail more than four days ago, and you haven't received a failure notice for the message, it got there; it might have been deleted, or corrupted by his mail server, but your message got there. You can't prove it was ever opened, but your message made it to his inbox if you didn't get a failure notice.

Yahoo just delivers your mail. The ultimate resposibility is with the end user to never open any strange attachments unless you are 100 % sure of the person sending it to you.

There is no way to do it for sure.  You can send an email "receipt" as the other person suggested, but the user is prompted as to whether they want to send the receipt, and many, including myself, say no.  I find that the receipt requests are really annoying.\n\nAnother way of figuring out if your email has been read is to include an image in the email that is hosted on a website/server you control.  If they open the email with images turned on, you can see in your website statistics that the image has been hit. This is also not the best way since they may have images turned off or your stats might not be accurate.\n\nThe bonus of these methods is that you will always know if they definitely received it (if the receipt is rec'd or if the image is hit), but you can't be sure that they didn't read just b/c you didn't get a receipt or the image wasn't hit - they could have said "no" to the receipt or had images turned off.\n\nIf you just want proof that you sent the email, cc yourself.  If you ever need to show that you did indeed send the email, you will have a copy in your own inbox to show.

It depends on what Internet service is providing your email addresses.  Without that information, no one can answer your question.
