How can one track whether a sent email was read? I’m using gmail.
You can set any email to use the read receipt feature and be notified as soon as the recipient opens your message. This feature works across most email services and clients, even for contacts who do not use Gmail.Compose a message using your Gmail account as you normally would.Click “Request return receipt” under the “To:” text box. A new checkbox option will appear.Place a check in the box next to the “Request read receipt” option and then send your email.Check your Gmail inbox later for a confirmation. It will come in the form of a new email letting you know which contact opened which message and the time your message was read.Also I recommend you to use Gmail integrated NetHunt CRM. This tool offers unlimited folders, records and follow-ups, as well as email tracking, calendar support and mass emailing. The app adapts your inbox with basic CRM functions. Emails are shown with qualifying information, and clicking on the NetHunt icon beside the sender’s name allows you to search for relevant records. NetHunt also allows filtered views of records.NetHunt allows for email marketing campaigns and a customizable sales pipeline. It’s offered at tiered pricing plans; a Small Business plan costs $25 per month for 5 users; various Growing Business tiers increase the price and user cap.
I read my partner's emails and found she is expressing interest in other men. Should I admit to violating her privacy and confront her?
When I was 17 I snooped in my partner’s journal because I thought he was acting suspicious and I wanted to know why.Reading through the diary, I found that he had been cheating on me with multiple people and described me as “boring” and “tying him down” and that he was going to break up with me before he left for university (he was a year older than me) despite numerous conversations we had had agreeing that we were going to attempt long-distance but that if either of us wasn’t certain about it, we should just break up now and there would be no hard feelings.It sounds childish but we had been together for a year so this was a strong relationship thus far.Anyway, I kept my mouth shut and tried to keep the relationship going because I was too embarrassed to admit that I had violated his privacy.That was a mistake.With this knowledge, I treated him the same way and he had no idea how I was feeling but I could no longer trust him and our relationship slowly eroded on my end until I finally confronted and broke up with him.Looking back, I wish I had confronted him right away. Yes, violating your partner’s privacy is inappropriate and that alone is grounds for breaking up, but any person who is caught cheating and tries to shift the blame to you isn’t worth being with anyway.If this issue comes up, you deal with the cheating first, then the privacy violation. It’s a nested set of problems.In the future, don’t snoop if you’re not prepared to deal with what you find.Best of luck.
What do I do when HDFC is charging for not maintaining balance for inoperative savings a/c even after RBI has made a rule for private banks not to charge penalty for inoperative savings a/c?
There is report in June 2014 Business Today as follows…RBI Ends Penalty For Dormant AccountsThe Reserve Bank of India has asked banks not to charge any penalty for non-maintenance of minimum balance in dormant accounts.Team Money Today Print Edition: June 2014In an attempt to provide some relief to customers, the Reserve Bank of India has asked banks not to charge any penalty for non-maintenance of minimum balance in dormant accounts. Savings accounts and current accounts are treated as dormant if there are no transactions for over two years.According to the RBI notification, banks should not take undue advantage of customer difficulty or inattention. Instead of levying penal charges for non-maintenance of minimum balance in ordinary savings bank accounts, banks should limit services available on such accounts to those available to basic savings bank deposit accounts and restore the services when the balances improve to the minimum required level.Reserve Bank of India ends penalty for dormant accountsThe report above is quite clear. Banks are barred from charging penalty. They have the option to limit the services.I suggest you withdraw Rs. 5000 and then request refund of Rs. 700 with simultaneous request to close your account. Give them application asking for refund else you will approach RBI. If the bank still refuses you may write online to the RBI.
What are good examples of an email to send when an IT platform is scheduled to be unavailable because of an update?
Here is a typical notification that we would use:Subject: SCHEDULED SYSTEM DOWNTIME - 12 Nov 2014Dear Network User,Please be advised that the network will be unavailable from 01:00am to 05:30am on November 12th, 2014. This period of downtime will be scheduled for necessary updates to be applied to the network servers.We apologise for the inconvenience that this may cause. Kindly inform the IT Service Desk (at ext. 1234) of any concerns that you may have about the planned outage.Kind regards,Dilbert TruemanNetwork Administrator.The following factors are important:1. Give at least 48 hours notice, wherever possible. For updates, this should be predictable. Follow up with 12 hour and 1 hour notifications as well. Not everybody has this as a "To Be Remembered" mental priority.2. Always schedule maintenance/updates/upgrades for the least inconvenient time for your users. Inconveniencing your technical guys, compared to inconveniencing the entire business should persuade you.3. Be specific about the time and date - no ambiguity - and allow yourself at least 20% excess time. Also be specific about the format that you display the time and date - do not rely on local conventions (i.e. the conventions of the person writing the notification).4. ALWAYS give a contact number for inquiries, in any notification. If you don't have a service desk/help line/generic call center, then provide the contact name and number of an informed(!) person. 5. It is counter-productive to swamp the recipient of the notification with technical details or blow-by-blow accounts of what is planned to be done. But DO give a brief description (your users are human beings, after all) that will satisfy their basic concerns. The email SUBJECT line must be clear and informative. It should say just enough to be a reminder without the message having to re-read by a forgetful recipient.5. Be polite and err on the side of being apologetic, if you are uncertain about the tone of your notification. Compose your notification as if the CEO is going to read it. You provide a service, you are not the customer, so never sound like a dictator.6. In the above example, you should obviously replace "Network User" and associated references with the name or identity of the service which will be affected. For wide-scale outages, say "Dear IT Systems User". For (a) specific system/s; name that/those system/s. Eg: "Dear Sales, Dispatch and Receiving Systems users".

How do I cancel my timeshare?
maybe my experience could help ,good luckWe have enjoyedthe first 5 years of the contract but it became impossible to book in at evenany of the first ten choices of resort and when a hurricane hits any ofRaintree properties, even though it is not your resort, a special assessmentcharge is levied which can be as much as the annual maintenance fee.Some of themore popular resorts have a waiting list of two years.We decided torelinquish our accumulated points and stop paying our maintenance fee.Within the next9 months we received debt collection letters from three different companies andwe decided to fight the injustice of the Raintree system.After muchsearching of the internet and reading many similar stories from lots of timesharecustomers we found Mexican Timeshare Solutions website which only charges a feeif they successfully cancel a contract but has an unfortunate website name of www.mexicantimesharescam.com which may not instil confidence using the word“scam”.Let me assureyou they are a genuine caring company, professional and efficient in dealingwith a complaint and they co-ordinate with PROFECO the Mexican equivalent of aconsumer council that wants to assist anyone who has a problem with a companybased in Mexico.The team atMexican Timeshare Solutions, headed by Emilio Roman in our case, took charge ofour situation and arranged attorneys to attend hearings. It took longer thanexpected due to the Raintree representative not appearing at two of thehearings but the final hearing was successful after around two months. In ourcase we did not receive any refunds but that was not expected as our mainconcern was to stop wasting money on such a timeshare scam of lies and deceit.If you want outof a timeshare that is not performing to its promises do not hesitate tocontact Mexican Timeshare Solutions. You will not be disappointed as long asyou have a genuine complaint.Thank you once again MTS for effectively cancelling adisastrous concern for my wife and I.
I made a website but the client hasn't paid for his hosting in 2 months and won't reply to any emails. What can I do? Can I pull the website from my server? Could I get a court order?
This is why developers shouldn’t host client sites. Always make them get the domain and hosting account, or if you set it up for them put it in their name and give them all the login information they need and instructions about renewing. This will save you a lot of problems down the road.For this one, you need to send them a notice saying that their payment is overdue and if they don’t respond in x number of days - I’d say 15 days) their site will be taken offline.You can’t just remove it without notice because technically it’s their property, and that would be denying them access to what is legally theirs.Conversely, unless you have a contract that they signed agreeing to pay you for their hosting, they don’t have any legal obligation to. This means that you’re the one on the hook, because (I’m guessing) the hosting account is in your name.Legally I don’t believe you can go after them unless they signed an agreement (or agreed in an email that you can produce) to pay you x amount every x often for web hosting. But only a lawyer in your area can tell you that, since the laws are different in every country (and sometimes every state or province).So if it were me, I’d send a notice, then package up the website in a nice little zip file and when the date on the notice comes up, email them the package, saying “Here’s your website. You will have to find hosting for it on your own.“ Then take it offline.You will also have to transfer their domain registration to them, if that is in your name too.
