Outlook Web Access-Read Receipt

[jsetaro]

Does anyone know how to set a read receipt for all messages using Outlook Web Access? By default, it is done on a per message basis. I am looking to see if that can be done for all messages like in Outlook.

just an FYI-

This is not a recommended practice since it can be exploited by both spammers and viruses. You are essentially sending a reply back to the sender letting them know that this is a good address, and then they know you aren't even choosing to send the reply.

Opens up a whole new can of worms.

These users do not have internet access. I only need this for internal messages.

I still wonder why anyone would want to do that, as any decently setup Outlook should REFUSE read receipts anyway.
In other words, asking for one does not garantee you'll get one.
Besides that, it is useless traffic and fills up mailboxes for no reason.
Anyone stating these day s 'I did not receive that E-Mail' is telling you a lie 99.9999999 % of the time. the other 0.0000001 is because they just deleted it too soon.

Back to the issue though. OWA is NOT considered internal mail, so those rules would not apply here and a read receipt to an OWA client would faal under the 'replies to the internet'.

In my company, much like the rest of the world, we need read receipts. OWA is considered internal mail. You can set it up for use in your company as a thin client, or to access from other locations. Instead of using Outlook, we need to use OWA for some users.

I did not mean that you cannot USE OWA as internal, but OWA itself is NOT the Exchange protocol like Outlook uses, hence it is considered internet (http(s)), so the Internet rules and/or restrictions apply.
