RG, Read Receit would be to notify you (the Protonmail sender) that your email to them has been read, not for them to be notified that you read their email. Well... unless they are a Protonmail user, too.

Well you can make that as an option. Also, making this as a setting for individual email address in an account would be better. For example, I would like my friends to know that I have read their emails, that has been to the address *****************. At the same time, I do not want my land lord to that that I have read his/her email that has been sent to *****************.

Tout à fait, moi aussi j'aimerais avoir une telle fonction, surtout que avec protonmail sur environ 10 emails envoyés au moins 2 ce sont perdus, et confirmé par le destinataire. Salutations

I need to know the lawyer I am writing is opening my emails. It is imperative

Bonjour, Je serais aussi fort intéressée par cette fonction accusé de réception. cordialement,

It would be an effective way to minimize resent or appear pestering

Bonjour, y a-t-il une raison technique expliquant l'absence d'une fonction accusé réception ? Je vous remercie par avance de votre réponse.
Hello, is there a technical reason for the absence of an acknowledgment of receipt ? Thank you in advance for your answer.

I would like to see a read receipt option as well. I am an independent contractor for the state of Washington. Some of the folks I email at the state of Washington don't respond back to me unless I request a read receipt--the request for read receipt catches their attention better.

This is a huge limitation. Many other services offer this feature. Shouldn’t the primary concern here be to provide excellent feature for uuur customers, who obviously desire this feature.

Agree with the comments below, the absence of this feature is a real limitation of an otherwise terrific mail service.

As a new comer to Protonmail, this was an issue that immediately limited my usage. I understand the issue raised by the Admin reply but isn't it possible to ignore an in-coming request to confirm receipt or read? Pity this request is spread over many threads. I am contributing to the request from the greatest number of users I found. Thank you for reconsidering.

I would still love to see this as an option so I can get rid of my gmail account entirely.

I would love to see this as an option. I've had a couple issues sending to large corporate recipients where they email will be rejected for whatever reason... however, if the email is filtered to a spam/junk folder on the recipient's end, I receive no notification that there was an issue.

It's a great option for business use, because it helps me know if follow-up phone calls or emails are going to annoy my customer or if they just hadn't seen the email i sent.

If they add this setting, any chance they could also add a settings to disable this feature from being used on you?

I see negative comments. My purpose is to ensure the staff I am e mailing are opening and reading the e mails sent in a timely manner. Proton mail if for me because it is HIPAA compliant.

I vote for this. Any mail client can do that why protonmail can't? It's always the responsibility of the sender to accept the acknowledgement. And if he doesn't want, fair enough, at least you should be able to know that your message has reached its destination. There's nothing against privacy in this, you already know you have sent an email to the recipient !

Bonjour, une fonction "demande d'accusé de réception" ou "acquitement de l'ouverture du mail envoyé" est-elle envisageable ? Merci .Actuellement au niveau de mon entreprise, j'utilisais l'extension "Boomerang" avec Gmail pour avoir un acquitement d'ouverture du mail envoyé. Cordiales salutations.

The day that happens is the day I quit using Proton for good. What a lousy idea! I started to use Proton to avoid creepy intrusions like this.

That does seem stupid tbh... That is like why ppl use proton, to have privacy. And that option would not be much privacy, now would it?

Proton is the wrong place for you! Privacy for you but not for the recipients of your mails? A queer wish!
