How can you make an email disappear after its been read by recipeant?

Answer 1

I don't know of a way to delete it once the recipient has read it, but I do know there is a way to request a read receipt, which allows the user to have the option of notifying you that he/she has read it, and once you receive this notification, then you can delete the email yourself. To do this: from http://email.about.com/cs/oetipstricks/qt/et060701.htm To request a read receipt for an individual message in Windows Mail or Outlook Express:

• Select Tools from the message's menu.
• Make sure Request Read Receipt is checked.

When the recipient of the message opens it, she is asked to notify you that she has opened and read the mail. To request read receipts for all messages in Outlook Express:

• Select Tools | Options... from the menu.
• Go to the Receipts tab.
• Make sure Request a read receipt for all sent messagesis checked.
• Click OK.

To send a message without the request for a read receipt with the default setting on, select Tools | Request Read Receipt from the message's menu to make sure the item is unchecked.

To request a Return Receipt for only one email:

In the text window, Go to Options and Hit Return Receipt, this will allow you to request a return receipt

To Request Return Receipts for all emails:
Go to Tools -> Options -> Composition -> Return Receipts
Then mark "When sending messages, always request a return receipt."
