1569901 - diverisify (fine grain) how return receipts are stored when received

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 312425

(Thunderbird :: Preferences, enhancement, P5)

Description

[vtol]

With the current implementation it would appear that -> Options -> General -> Return Receipts -> [x] When sending messages, always request a return receipt covers both:

• Return Receipt (other mail clients make that Read Receipt)
• DSN (Delivery Status Notification)

---

Having used other mail clients in comparision it is suggested (in order to improve/enhance workflow) to:

1. global rename Return Receipt to Read Receipt (which seems more appropriate)
2. global split options for RR and DSN (each serving its own (diverse) purpose)
3. global option to disable RR || DSN for mailing lists (where such is frowned upon)
4. global option to selectively en/disable RR || DSN for specified receipients
5. extend global option to select folder for RR || DSN (see stale bug 312425)

For the last point it might worth to take a look at how Outlook handles RR - moves the ingress receipt to deleted folder (which makes sense as opposed to leaving it inbox or moving it to send) and is visibly tagging the egressed message with a read receipt indicator.

Not sue that bug subject got changed because apparently the suggested scope is not just about storage. And for latter there is already bug 312425
