How do I request a read receipt on sent email from me.com address?
You ask in the email to please let you know they have read the email.
Don't expect them to respond though.

In Microsoft Outlook, as you are perhaps aware , there is facility to ask for read receipt, a useful facility. Is there a similar option in apple mail. I usually ask for this when you don't think people will reply but I would like to know if they have read it,, so asking in email for an answer wouldn't work for me.

I use Outlook and if I discovered you were trying to get an automated read receipt from me you would be blocked. I would never see another email from you. It is only my business if or when I read my emails.
And, think of how useful automatic read receipts would be to spammers and phishers.
sorry. We seem at cross purposes. I am asking a simple technical question as to whether this facility exists in imail.
Note that outlook asks if you will allow a receipt to sent. It is not in my experience sent without agreement and is not hidden. But that’s not of interest to me now as I have moved to imail. Just want to know if it exists
I now end my involvement in this thread and will search elsewhere for the info I need
thanks for your help
In the context of the OP it was implied by the OP was references the Native Apple Mail application.
As far back as OS X Tiger 10.4 - if my memory is correct- that specific feature was never present in any version of the Native Apple Mail including the latest Monterey macOS 12.
Thank you!
It can be done in MacOS...
