Email tracking

[Tony.Coventry]

We are using SMTPmail.p to email purchase orders and GRNs. We'd like to be able to ensure the email has been read at the site and produce some sort of reporting based on this.
At the moment, each email that is sent has a request for a read receipt. This works and sends the receipt back to the address in the EmailFrom field. What we need is for the Progress application to have some way to read this receipt and create a report based on this.

Is there a way Progress can access the properties of the mail to check if it has been read or alternatively, read the receipts from the inbox of the sender?

It is all internal mail using MS Exchange Server 2003.

I can NOT give you syntax at this time, I am away from my machine. However you require a property to set, the property you require is for the message entity - flag the request received acknoledgement property. M$ will force then to reply

If the request recieved aknoledgement property is set by the server, how can I read this from Progress?
Do I need POP3 enabled on the exchange server for this?

I have replied privately about COM object options, but here is some code for POP3 message retrieval http://amduus.com/OpenSrc/SrcLib/Mail/pop3/
