[mkhalil]

Hi,

Any mail readed thru the smartphone is notified to the sender if (s)he ask for a read receipt.

It is possible to disable this feature ?

Hi,

i'm using a windows mobile 6 pda phone.
The HTC P3600.
But, this have to be set on the exchange server side.
I've checked official microsoft documentation and found that have to be set on the server side (.

OK, I tested it out and confirmed it works the same way for my account. I'll try to find out what could be done.

I made a few inquiries, and it looks like its a built in feature in Microsoft Exchange. There's not much we can do to change it right now, unfortunately.

Did you try these rules found a this post : http://forums.msexchange.org/m_1800503340/tm.htm


There doesn't seem to be a built in way to do this. I found some transport rules on experts-exchange how to delete the read receipt before it gets to the mailbox.

Rule 1:
From users outside the organization
Remove header "X-Confirm-Reading-To"

Rule 2:
From users outside the organization
Remove header "Disposition-Notification-To"

Rule 3:
From users outside the organization
Remove header "Return-Receipt-To"

Rule 4:
From users outside the organization
Remove header "Receipt-Requested-To"

Nice info, mkhalil. But is a read receipt still a standard Microsoft Exchange feature these days, and do those deletion instructions still work?
