How to know about they read mail in gmail

The age-old question of "Have they read my email?"

Gmail doesn't provide a built-in feature to notify you when someone has read your email. However, there are a few workarounds and third-party extensions that can help you achieve this:

Method 1: Use the "Read Receipt" feature

When composing an email, you can request a read receipt from the recipient. This will send a notification to your email when they open the email. To do this:

  1. Compose a new email in Gmail.
  2. Click on the three vertical dots at the bottom of the compose window.
  3. Select "Request read receipt" from the dropdown menu.
  4. Send the email as usual.

When the recipient opens the email, you'll receive a notification in your Gmail inbox with the subject "Read Receipt: [Email Subject]".

Method 2: Use a third-party extension

There are several browser extensions available that can help you track when someone has read your email. Here are a few popular options:

  1. Boomerang: This extension allows you to schedule emails to send at a later time, as well as track when someone has read your email. It also provides features like reminders and follow-up emails.
  2. Read Receipt: This extension sends a read receipt to your email when the recipient opens the email. It also provides features like tracking and analytics.
  3. Email Tracker: This extension tracks when someone has read your email and provides detailed analytics on email opens, clicks, and more.

To install a third-party extension, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Chrome Web Store (or your browser's extension store).
  2. Search for the extension you want to install (e.g., Boomerang, Read Receipt, Email Tracker).
  3. Click the "Add to Chrome" button to install the extension.
  4. Follow the extension's instructions to set up and configure it.

Method 3: Use a browser's built-in feature

Some browsers, like Google Chrome, have built-in features that can help you track when someone has read your email. For example:

  1. Chrome's "Read receipts" feature: Chrome has a built-in feature that allows you to request read receipts from the recipient. To enable this feature, go to Chrome's settings, click on "Advanced," and then select "Content settings." Under "Content settings," click on "Read receipts" and toggle the switch to "On."

Keep in mind that these methods may not work for all recipients, and some may not be compatible with certain email providers or browsers. Additionally, some recipients may not open or read your email, even if you request a read receipt or use a third-party extension.
