Abstract
A method and system for acknowledging receipt of a voice mail message sent by a first user to a second user and accessed by the second user. The first and second users are respectively connected to a first and second server. Responsive to receiving a request from the first user for an acknowledgment message indicating that the second user has accessed the voice mail message, the second server places an indication of the request in a voice mail box of the second user. After the second user accesses the voice mail message, the second server sends the acknowledgment message to the first server, after which the first server informs the first user that the second user has accessed the voice mail message.
