Read receipts have become an integral part of messaging applications these days. Most of our work relies upon these receipts and they ensure the delivery of messages. But emails are a thing of the past; we never know whether the recipient opened the email. This is not the case anymore. With services like MailTrack, you can track your email after you’ve sent them. MailTrack is intended for Google Chrome and Gmail users, and we hope to see it soon for other email providers as well.
