How to check gmail mail send status

There are a few ways to check the send status of a Gmail email:

Method 1: Using the Gmail Web Interface

  1. Log in to your Gmail account.
  2. Click on the "Inbox" tab.
  3. Find the email you want to check the status of and click on it.
  4. Click on the three vertical dots at the top right corner of the email.
  5. Select "Show original" from the dropdown menu.
  6. In the "Message source" window, look for the "Status" or "Delivery Status" section. This will show you the status of the email, such as "Delivered", "Failed", or "Undelivered".

Method 2: Using the Gmail API

  1. Enable the Gmail API in the Google Cloud Console.
  2. Use the Gmail API to retrieve the email metadata. You can use the users.messages.list method to retrieve a list of emails, and then use the users.messages.get method to retrieve the metadata for a specific email.
  3. In the email metadata, look for the labelIds field. This will contain a list of labels that have been applied to the email, including the "SENT" label.
  4. You can also use the users.messages.get method to retrieve the email's status field, which will contain a string indicating the status of the email, such as "delivered" or "failed".

Method 3: Using a Third-Party Email Tracking Tool

  1. Use a third-party email tracking tool, such as Mailtrack or Yesware, to track the status of your emails.
  2. These tools will send a tracking pixel with your email, which will allow you to track the status of the email, including whether it was delivered, opened, or clicked.
  3. You can access the tracking data through the tool's web interface or API.

Method 4: Using a Script

  1. Use a scripting language, such as Python or JavaScript, to connect to the Gmail API and retrieve the email metadata.
  2. Use the Gmail API to retrieve the email metadata, and then parse the data to determine the status of the email.
  3. You can use a library such as google-api-python-client or google-auth to connect to the Gmail API.

Here is an example of how you might use Python to check the send status of a Gmail email:

import google.auth
from googleapiclient.discovery import build

# Set up authentication
creds, project = google.auth.default(scopes=['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.modify'])

# Create the Gmail API client
service = build('gmail', 'v1', credentials=creds)

# Retrieve the email metadata
message_id = 'your_email_id_here'
response = service.users().messages().get(userId='me', id=message_id).execute()

# Parse the email metadata
status = response['payload']['headers'][0]['value']

print(status)

This script uses the google-api-python-client library to connect to the Gmail API and retrieve the email metadata. It then parses the metadata to determine the status of the email, which is stored in the status variable.
