; When sending messages, always request a return receipt | |||
: Request a return reciept with every outgoing message you send. Mostly for business purposes or settings. Note that this does not mean that you will always recieve one back - it is up to the recipient to return the reciept. Most email programs give you a choice of returning them. Constant requests for one might dimish your chances of recieving them. | |||
; When a receipt arrives | |||
: When you receive a return receipt acknowledgment, Thunderbird will place it in either your <i>Inbox</i> or your <i>Sent</i> folder, depending on this preference. | |||
; When I receive a request for a return receipt | |||
: This preference allows for some automation when your receive a request for a return receipt. The first option allows you to ignore all such requests. | |||
: The second option gives you some flexibility in setting rules for returning them based on some criteria. In all three rules, you may choose to always send, never send, or have Thunderbird ask you whether to send the return receipt back to the sender. The first rule will check if you are the TO or CC recipient of the email in question. The second rule will check if the sender is outside your domain (meaning your email address domain, for example if your email address is person@company.com, your domain is company.com). The third rule will handle all other cases. | |||
