I have a new desktop with Windows 7. I have been trying to use Windows Live Mail (I had it before and it worked fine).

Yesterday, I installed folders under one of my email accounts to hold receipts and product codes:. Inbox drafts, sent delete,codes, receipts.

This morning, not only were my receipts and codes missing, but also all of my sent and delete messages.  Plus, there were over 400 old inbox messages.

What should I do?
I got a response that she had closed my thread and would be helping me find out what happened to all my receipt folders. Netflix folder and other folders had several pages, but my Amazon and Receipts folders were left with only a few entries. Could it be a virus or is Microsoft doing this? 
Thanks for any help, Junebug

I use hotmail. but I have not been able to set it up to provide read receipts when a sent email is opened by the receipient.

 

[Moved from feedback]

Why did all my receipts in my receipt folder disappear. This is the only way I can save a receipt for all the stuff I order online! Only two were left. What happened? I pay for Outlook every year. Can't I save them?

how do i get read receipts when i access my email on live.com or can you not get receipts when you access on there web site

Can Someone please tell me if there are plans to have the Read Receipt option added into Microsoft Outlook for MAC? I have the 2011 Home and business version and read receipts are crucial for my business.  This is annoying! What's the word?  Anyone know if or when that will be added?

Thanks so much!!

I know with my Windows Mail (and we used to do it at work...) you can set things up so that you know when the email you sent is Read/Deleted etc.  Is it possible to prevent this notification being sent to the sender? 
 Thanks.

Yes, that's right, I want to turn this OFF or edit it so that read receipts go to the correct email address. I know what you're thinking, that you can't even use read receipts in MS Outlook for Mac. But I have been, although by accident. This is what happened in my case:


Years ago when I had MS Entourage I set it up to ask for a read receipt when I sent emails. I did this by doing the following steps:


1. In Entourage I selected "Tools." and then "Accounts."

2. I selected the "Mail" tab and selected the account I wanted to use read receipts with by double-clicking on the account name.

3. I then selected the "Options" tab.

4. And, in the box labeled "Header," I entered "Disposition-Notification-To" and typed my email address into the "Value" box. 

5. After clicking "OK", Entourage was set up to request read receipts.


When I purchased Office 2011 for Mac, and imported my Entourage accounts etc into Outlook, it also copied this setting for me. This was fine - it just kept requesting read-receipts and that was good.


HOWEVER, the email account I was using is now no longer active and what I'm finding is that whenever I send an email, that the recipients whose computers are actually trying to send a read receipt, are returning them an error message because the email it's trying to send the read receipt to an email address that can't be resolved.


So, how do I now change this in MS Outlook? I need to either remove the "Disposition-Notification-To" setting, or change it so that it goes to my current email address.


Thanks for any help. It will be very much appreciated!
