Exchange 2007 SP2 Outlook 2007 is there a way for an admin to tell if a user has read an email delivered to his mailbox

It's possible to see if an email has been marked as read, but that's no guarantee they actually read it.

thanks so from my exchange server how do I tell what time a message was opened? or marked as read. ( is there a monad command?) in a particular users account. I am trying to determine if an email delivered to a person was opened or read and if so what time this occurred is there a way to do this without copying the account to a pst and viewing the properties on this email from an outlook client? thanks

You can open the mailbox an check it, or you can use Powershell (monad) and the EWS Managed API to examine the message.

Hi, Did you use the "Request a Read Receipt" option in Outlook? Is that your need? Thanks Allen

In addition to the other answers you have to remember that you can look at the message in the reading pane in (say) Outlook and then shift/delete it. It's then been read but has never been marked as read and is now deleted. It's one of those things that there's no point in doing.

Or if they're using the preview pane, it can get marked as Read, and they never even saw it.
