Is it in your sent box or your outbox?

It's in my sent box (didn't know there was a difference, sorry).

Just for clarity it wasn't concert tickets or even anything edible, it could have sat on his shelf and even have a thick layer of dust covering it before he sent it out.

To be honest I didn't think it was because you said it was something you needed; and I know although tickets are always nice to have, you don't need them!!:p

That does mean it was sent then, but doesn't guarantee it was delivered at tother end.

I'm on AOL and I don't think I have that function either (unless someone can tell me otherwise LOL)

In Outlook : When you've typed out your email, click on "Tools" in the menu bar above, then "Request Read Receipt". It means that, when it's opened the other end, you'll get an email message to say at what time it was looked at and by whom.

The recipient will have the option to say "no" to read receipt though, which means you won't know if they've opened it. The only draw-back

Do you have the terms and conditions of the competition handy? If so, would it be possible to post them for us, deleting any bits that give away what the prize was?

Only if you have emailed another AOL member.... how cack!

Check if your email has been received

If you've sent someone an email, AOL lets you check whether or not that person has received and read your email. (Note: this is only available when emailing other AOL members, not for emails sent to the Internet.) To check the status of an email you've sent:

1. Click the Email menu at the top-left of your screen, then click Sent Email. (AOL 8.0 users, simply click on the Email drop-down menu, highlight Read Email and click on Sent Email.)
2. Click once on the email you want to check and click the Status button. This will tell you whether the email has been read by the recipient, and if so, when it was read.

Alternatively, when you're writing an email, you can tick the option at the bottom of the screen which says Request Return Receipt. When the recipient reads the email, you'll automatically receive an email 'receipt' telling you when the email was read. (Again, this feature is only available when emailing other AOL members)

Oooh never thought of looking at the T+C - will go and look now. It was a comp where you add your name to a mailing list though so there might not be many T+Cs for that.
