The email has become one of the daily essentials for any working professional, right from academic to business workers. Used as a substitute for the traditional post, this electronic facility is mainly used as an official letter or to update on work-related information.

Despite its complexity, there’s one major disadvantage of using email, quite similar to the conventional letter era. Yes, you guessed it right – we cannot find out whether the receiver has read it or not. And of course, it’s a bit annoying!

Thankfully, some third-party developers can help you track the email, just like a package delivery! With them, you can make sure that the letters have gone to the right box.

We have listed the programs below.

GetNotify

It is a basic program that you can download for seeing the recipient’s status. This third-party application will generate a receipt and notification for each mail that the receivers have read.

Furthermore, GetNotify will also be able to track the IP address, geolocation, OS, browsers, and other useful aspects. The additional information probably won’t help you that much, as it basically designed for business-related mails, such as a newsletter.

What’s more enticing about this program is that it is free to use! However, there is a  limit to the number of emails you can track, and to bypass it, one needs to provide small donations as a research and development fee. Well, it’s worth it!

Mailtrack

Similar to the first application, Mailtrack is the other option for you to see and trace your letter. The main difference lies in its form, as it is a browser extension.

To employ Mailtrack properly, the sender only needs to install this add-on to the prospective website browser before using it – so simple and effective!

Nevertheless, this extension is mainly designed for Google Mail only, which also becomes its main drawback. If you are using other electronic mailing services, it’s better to utilize the first program.

Streak

Last but not least, we have Streak – another Gmail add-on that is suitable for professional usage. It comes with three different packages: Free, Pro, and Enterprise – of course, all of them have distinctive functions.

The free service is for single and casual users, as the tracked mails will be limited for only 200 in a month. And the paid ones are mainly designed for working professionals, and even a company!
