Is there a way to know when an e-mail you have sent has been opened?

Question

I use yahoo e-mail. is there a way for me to send an e-mail and get notice when that e-mail has been opened by the receiver?

Answer 1

Use tracking software like didtheyreadit. The link below will take you to a free trial of this. I think the trial is for 14 days then you have to purchase it. It will tell you:



1. When, exactly, your email was opened.

2 How long your email remained opened.

3 Where, geographically, your email was viewed



They don't even know it's installed on your computer.

Answer 2

Not really without paying for a service that will allow you to "track" when an email is opened; and, there is a catch.



To track that an email is opened, a small (tiny) image is embedded in the email. The image is located on a web server that tracks when the image is requested. That request is logged, hence, signifying that the email is opened.



This does not always work because not all email programs, e.g. Outlook, open/show images automatically to counteract the very thing being tracked!



Can you do it, yes. Is it easy or 100% foolproof, no.

Answer 3

there is no way to do that in yahoo mail normally. but here i'll show you how to use outlook express with the free yahoo mail. in outlook express you can set up read receipts. you can do it manually every time or set it up so every email gets a read receipt.

Answer 4

Yahoo does not offer receipt notification.



Some email software, e.g. Outlook Express, provides the capability to request it, but most ISP's suppress it to reduce the volume of email.



So, no.

Answer 5

I think the one of the only accounts that you can do that is AOL. But that would be a good suggestion to Yahoo. I'm sure there are a lot of people that would like that.

Answer 6

it can't be possible u would not receive the notice on this yahoo mail cards or other is possible

Answer 7

Don't think so, I do know that if you send one of those e-cards, from like Hallmark, they have an option for you to mark, if you want to be notified when the e-card was open.

Answer 8

not from yahoo. if you set up ms outlook you will definitely be able to tell.
