send email receipts, when email is "received" or "read"
-
Just a thought, in Vivaldi I leave my email unread until I am completely done with them. So if Vivaldi were acknowledging read receipt requests from other clients (which I believe it doesn't and hope it never will, because I don't want to be tracked), it would only do so when I actively mark the mail as read.
In other words, the entire absurdity of read receipts is even more severe in Vivaldi, where an email stays unread by default even when you look at it.
Next come the answers from the "I want automatically mark as read" people

I don't want this feature, but I think it'd be nice to have for users that already successfully use this feature with other clients/servers/recipients.
It'd take some work though. See https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8098.txt. (Not that Thunderbird does everything in there.)

Mail read receipts are HUGE for my busniess(es).
I use Streak mail tracking with Gmail and Chrome. When someone clicks to view images the pixel is presented and I get a read receipt. When a customer finally clicks show images all the time, I get notified every time an email is opened. New or old.This tells me where the client is at that moment mentally because I can search and see which email they are looking at.
Do you know how many times a client I haven't sold to in 5-10 years has opened an old email and I've been notified? 100's and 100's of times. Do you know how many of those clients I've picked up the phone and called then and reignited that relationship? 100's.
There IS a use for receipts, even if you personally don't need them. I for one LOVE to know when my customers new or old are thinking of me. It's pure Gold!

@dougm1966 frightening!
-
@wildente And how exactly is that frightening?

And for those interested, the Streak CRM plugin does appear to work with Vivaldi. It works directly with Gmail so it isn't a solution for everyone.

@Dougm1966 does streak work for your gmail? I can't seem to use it with mine? Maybe I missed a setting doing install?

Now that this thread popped up again, I have a question: has anyone ever wanted to SEND a read receipt? All I ever see is people wanting to receive them. Outlook asked me at work today "sender requests a read receipt. Send?" ... Nope!

@WildEnte The day before yesterday I wrote an important mail to the property management and the landlord and asked for a confirmation of receipt. Since Vivaldi mail client does not have this feature, I wrote the mail with Evolution (Linux). I received the confirmation from the landlord.

@Dancer18 you wouldn't have if the landlord had used Vivaldi mail
... What's wrong with asking "please confirm the receipt of this media email"? This would have the added benefit to know that the person has actually read the email when they found it in their inbox, and knowing they didn't when you don't get an actual answer.Usually on Win11 running Vivaldi Snapshot builds.

@WildEnte You are right of course.

While I love to hear that, I don't want to destroy the request - I just wonder where the actual benefits lie specifically for the receiver of an email that contains a read receipt request, this is not obvious to mem
