What MailTracker is
MailTracker is a Gmail email-tracking service delivered through a Chrome extension, with a web platform also listed. It reports when a message is first opened, how many times it is viewed and whether the view came from mobile or desktop. Chrome can show a real-time first-open notification, while email alerts report opens or messages that remain unopened for 48 hours. Tracking can be removed in one click or enabled only for selected emails. Paid plans add link tracking, follow-up reminders, complete tracking history, CSV export and scheduled-email tracking. The free plan allows 20 tracked emails monthly and includes first tracking history, email alerts, Chrome notifications and an activities feed. MailTracker uses Gmail’s API and requests permission to read, compose, send and permanently delete Gmail. Its policy says it processes tracking events, clicks and metadata without storing message contents. Transfers use SSL/TLS encryption and OAuth tokens are encrypted. Tracking can be incomplete when recipients block images, use incompatible clients, access messages across devices, forward mail or load cached content.
