AOL Mail can tell you if the receiver has read or deleted your email.

AOL Mail lets you receive and send email and instant messages from any computer with an Internet connection. It includes a feature that lets you check the status of emails you have sent. Although this feature can tell you if someone with an AOL email address read your email, it can't tell you the status if your contact uses a different email provider.
