If you want to know if the person whom you sent an email message already read your email, you need
to enable the read receipt request. This is simply to notify you if your recipient opened and read your
email.
NOTE: If you are using an email program for your Gmail, like Mozilla Thunderbird, MS Outlook 2007/2010
or Windows Live Mail, the read receipt feature is readily available in the email program itself. The
procedures described here is only to be used when you are using Gmail in a web browser.
Using Gmail, you have the option to enable this read receipt feature. A read receipt , as the name
implies, is an email notification delivered to you when a recipient opens (and presumably reads) an
email you send. The receipt confirms that the recipient saw your message and records the time. When
you view a message for which you've requested a receipt, the current status appears just below the
body of the message when you view Gmail on the web.
However, the read receipts feature is only available for Google Apps for Business, Education, and
Government customers. Sad to say, the feature is not available in personal or free Gmail accounts.
For free gmail users who want to be notified when people read their emails through a read receipt, you
can use SpyPig [1] tracking tool. It is a straightforward online tool that enables you to be notified when
the your recipient reads or opens your email message. Besides the notification, other tracking
information of the recipient like his IP address and location will also be reported in the notification email
- the read receipt.
