Can you see if someone has read your email?
Gmail currently has no way to employ Read Receipts unless you go for a third-party option which often involves a subscription. Plus, we found that our Mac version of Outlook also had the feature disabled while most popular email apps on Android and iOS don’t even have it as an option.
How can you tell if an email has been read in Gmail without read receipt?
Now that you’re excited to get going, you may wonder if there’s any way to find out if an email that you have already sent has been opened. Unfortunately not. If you’ve already sent the email without the new Gmail Read Receipt installed, there’s no way to find out if the email has been opened.
Can you see if someone read your email outlook?
Request read and/or delivery receipts for all messages that you send. On the File menu, select Options > Mail. Under Tracking, select the Delivery receipt confirming the message was delivered to the recipient’s e-mail server or Read receipt confirming the recipient viewed the message check box.
