How to know mail recipient has send mai

There are a few ways to know if a mail recipient has sent the mail:

  1. Return Receipt: You can request a return receipt from the recipient, which is a confirmation that they have received and opened the email. This is usually done by adding a "Return Receipt" option when sending the email.
  2. Delivery Confirmation: Some email providers, like Gmail, offer delivery confirmation. This is a notification that the email has been delivered to the recipient's inbox.
  3. Read Receipt: Some email providers, like Outlook, offer read receipts. This is a notification that the recipient has opened the email.
  4. Tracking: If you're sending a physical mail, you can use tracking services like USPS, UPS, or FedEx to track the mail and get updates on its delivery status.
  5. Follow-up: You can send a follow-up email or make a phone call to the recipient to confirm if they have received the mail.
