How to check if mail has been sent

There are several ways to check if an email has been sent successfully:

  1. Check the email client's sent folder: Most email clients, such as Gmail, Outlook, or Yahoo Mail, have a sent folder where you can check if the email has been sent. You can access this folder by logging into your email account and looking for the sent folder.
  2. Check the email server's logs: If you have access to the email server's logs, you can check the logs to see if the email was sent successfully. The logs will typically show the date and time the email was sent, as well as the recipient's email address.
  3. Use a delivery confirmation service: Some email providers, such as Gmail, offer a delivery confirmation service that allows you to track the status of your emails. You can enable this service by going to your email account settings and looking for the "Delivery confirmation" or "Read receipts" option.
  4. Use a third-party email tracking service: There are several third-party services, such as Mailtrack or Yesware, that allow you to track the status of your emails. These services typically work by inserting a tracking pixel into the email that is sent to the recipient's email client. When the recipient opens the email, the tracking pixel is loaded, and the service can track the email's status.
  5. Check the recipient's email client: If you have access to the recipient's email client, you can check their sent folder or inbox to see if the email has been received.
