Create two files that contain commands to turn on\/off read receipts. I’ve verified this works with Yosemite’s Mail client for emails sent from an iCloud account to an Outlook account. (It seems that only Outlook Exchange services honor receipt request. Regular Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo etc. do not allow the user to send read receipts.)<\/p>\n

Turning Read Receipts On: You’ll want to edit the last part of the command by changing the generic placeholders John Doe and email@icloud.com with your personal name and email. <\/p>\n Likewise, another file, setReadReceipts_False, can hold the content to turn off read requests: I placed these two files in a “bin” folder located in my home directory. Make sure they are executable files by using a terminal and typing the following: Now, to turn read receipts on, in your terminal, type:<\/p>\n Similarly, you can turn off read receipts by calling the other file. <\/p>\n cheers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Create two files that contain commands to turn on\/off read receipts.

\n<\/code><\/p>\n
\n
\n#!\/bin\/bash
\ndefaults delete com.apple.mail UserHeaders
