I have resorted to sending a message from his mailbox, when folks do not even open their mail from me.  At least it gets opened and I can see the return receipt. He knows my tactic and knows I only use it as a last resort. Attention getter if you will:) However, I try not to involve him since his e-mail box receives alot of mail and his time is valuable. One less for him to open in the box is always best and I try to avoid it as much as possible. |

I put read receipts on most emails I send, then call the individuals if I don't get a response immediately.
Honestly their reaction is so funny - they think I'm psychic!

Ah, I have a new interim plan following a chat with the Boss.
I've had the offer to send emails from my Manager's email address (I thought that was quite a nice offer really, at least it shows that my problem is being taken seriously). The idea is that other Managers will respond to the emails if they are quite obviously sent direct from my Manager (who just happens to be their Boss), and not routed through my email address.
I'll be interested to see if/how this works. What do you think?
(Brownie points to my Boss for listening!)

I would only do that where, like you, I have agreed it with my boss.
Very often I send meeting requests from his calendar but that is different to sending other requests that need followed up or actioned.
Good luck, sounds a much better process.

Our e-mail system shows my bosses name in the upper right corner and under it "sent by" and my name when you open the actual e-mail. However, in the recipients inbox, it shows as if it is sent by him. Works everytime:)

That seems like a brilliant solution Peaches.
Amazing what an effect the Boss' name can have, isn't it!

How does that work Peaches? If I send emails from my bosses inbox or meeting requests from his calendar, it usually shows up as...

We use Lotus Notes. If you have been granted access in preferences by your boss to his calendar and e-mail, it will show up like that when sent.
