Frequently Asked Questions

What is Mail Tracker for Gmail?

Mail Tracker is a free Chrome extension that lets you track when your Gmail emails are opened. You receive instant notifications the moment someone reads your email, helping you optimize follow-up timing and increase response rates.

How do I track emails in Gmail for free?

Install the Mail Tracker Chrome extension from the Chrome Web Store. Once installed, it automatically adds invisible tracking pixels to your Gmail emails. When recipients open your emails, you get instant push notifications. No credit card or payment required for basic tracking.

Can recipients see that I'm tracking their emails?

No. Mail Tracker uses invisible tracking pixels that recipients cannot see. The tracking is completely discreet and professional, making it ideal for job applications, sales emails, and business communications.

Is email tracking legal for job applications?

Yes, email tracking is legal in most jurisdictions. Tracking pixels are standard technology used by companies like Gmail, Outlook, and marketing platforms. It's similar to how companies track if you open their newsletters. However, always review local privacy laws in your region.

How does Mail Tracker compare to other email tracking tools?

Mail Tracker is 100% free for basic features with no credit card required. Unlike competitors like Mailtrack or Streak, we offer unlimited email tracking, real-time notifications, and comprehensive analytics at no cost. Premium features are available for advanced users who need detailed reporting.

What's the best time to send a job application email?

Industry research suggests Tuesday and Wednesday mornings between 9-11 AM in the recipient's timezone tend to have higher open rates. Avoid sending on Monday mornings when inboxes are crowded or Friday afternoons when recruiters are wrapping up the week.

Can I track emails on mobile devices?

Yes. While the extension installs on Chrome desktop, tracked emails work across all devices. When recipients open your emails on mobile, desktop, or tablet, you'll receive notifications. You can also view tracking statistics on mobile through our web dashboard.

Does Mail Tracker work with Gmail business accounts?

Yes, Mail Tracker works with both personal Gmail accounts and Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) business accounts. It's perfect for sales teams, recruiters, and professionals who need to track business communications.

How many times can someone open my tracked email?

Recipients can open your email unlimited times, and Mail Tracker records every open with timestamps. This helps you understand engagement patterns - if someone opens your job application 5 times, that's a strong signal of interest.

What information does Mail Tracker provide?

You get exact timestamps of each email open and the number of times your email was opened. All data is presented in an easy-to-read dashboard with analytics and trends to help you optimize your email timing and follow-ups.
