Good morning, writing with a few questions pertaining to Outlook as well if
the features are available with Hotmail.

1. Looking to ensure that I receive notification if someone has read my email?
2. How do I ensure that no one can forward my email?
3. How can I ensure that no one can edit my message sent?

Also, how can I use Outlook email program and forward through Hotmail servers?

Thanks,

Sean

Pay for Hotmail premium. Go to Hotmail on the web and follow their
instructions.

1) You can request notification, but its up to that person as to whether
they actually notify you.

You can request a delivery receipt in Outlook. However requesting a read
receipt is iffy at best. People can deny read receipts and many mail servers
don't allow them through.

As for editing your email, you could use Windows Rights Management or one of
the security services listed at

I don't guarantee it will do exactly what you want, but it is something you
can look into.

As for preventing an email from being forwarded, you'd need third party
software - check out http://www.slipstick.com/addins/security.htm but again I
can't guarantee it will do exactly what you want.

Even delivery receipt requests are iffy because the receipient's server must
honor them. Many don't
