Mail-in Database

HI experts got a question on what is the use of a mail-in databse? how do i create one and when do i use it?

They are often used as group mailboxes or in automated processes that involve mail.
Depending on your goal: either create a normal mailbox from a template (easiest) or create one from scratch that meets certain criteria (not sure; but it's in designer help!).
Register the box as mail-in db in the org. NAB.

so I can use the mail-in-database to have read receipts sent to those who send me mail?

You don't need a mail-in database for that. Read Receipts are controlled by an option on the sent message. Whoever opens a message with that option set causes the following:

1) A new message is sent out to the sender of the original message, the new message type is ReturnReceipt
2) The return receipt option is removed from teh message, so it won't get sent out again if the message is opened again

All this is true whether the message arrives in your mailbox, or yu read a message that arrived in a mail-in database.

Just think of a mail-in database as a mail file without a person associated to it.

That's what a mail-in is for ... to receive messages via mail without using a regular user mailbox.
