Mail receipts

[Gosh]

Just a little question!

Does Mail automatically send read receipts when requested?

When I download some mail - for a moment I see a number (of messages) flag on drafts folder which then disappears but nothing shows in the folder or in sent!?!

Just seems odd?😱

I've never experienced what you are describing, and I've been using Mail exclusively for over 2 years now. I've also emailed myself a lot of stuff from other email accounts, and I've never had any receipts come back. I couldn't find any settings in preferences either. What kind of mail are you using? IMAP, POP, etc. Are you using .Mac?

Yes, I have dot Mac/IMAP.

I couldn't see any setting for receipts - just my hunch!

Seems really odd - a number of drafts flagged 9usually 1or 2) - the swirlly gear thing going around and then they disappear?😕

Do the number of flagged drafts correspond to the number of new emails?
