Can mailtracker see if mail was trashed

MailTracker is a powerful tool for tracking email delivery and analyzing email metrics, but it's important to note that it may not be able to detect if an email was trashed by the recipient.

MailTracker uses various methods to track email delivery, including:

  1. DNS lookups: MailTracker checks the DNS records of the recipient's domain to determine if the email was delivered to the recipient's mailbox.
  2. Bounce notifications: MailTracker monitors bounce notifications from the recipient's email server to determine if the email was rejected or bounced.
  3. Open tracking: MailTracker uses open tracking pixels to track when the recipient opens the email.

However, trashing an email does not trigger a bounce notification or an open tracking event, so MailTracker may not be able to detect if an email was trashed.

That being said, there are some workarounds to estimate the likelihood of an email being trashed:

  1. Use a combination of metrics: MailTracker provides various metrics, such as delivery rate, open rate, and click-through rate. By analyzing these metrics, you can estimate the likelihood of an email being trashed.
  2. Monitor email engagement: If an email has a low open rate or click-through rate, it may indicate that the email was trashed.
  3. Use A/B testing: A/B testing can help you identify which subject lines, email content, or send times are most effective, which can help you reduce the likelihood of emails being trashed.

Keep in mind that trashing an email is a subjective action, and it's difficult to accurately detect it using automated tools like MailTracker. However, by combining multiple metrics and analyzing email engagement, you can make educated guesses about the effectiveness of your email campaigns.
