When you send an email with your Gmail account, Mailtrack will add a check mark next to the email in your Sent box. This check mark next to the email lets you know that the email has been successfully sent to the recipient. If the email bounces or cannot be delivered to the recipient, then the check mark will not appear next to it.
3. Check to see if your email has been read
Finally, once you send an email, you can sit back and wait to see if the recipient opens it. You will know it’s been opened because a second check mark will appear next to the first one and you’ll get a real-time notification.
If you’re looking for an easy-to-use email tracker, give Mailtrack a try.
