Tip & How-To about Google Gmail

Track an email in Gmail

An email can easily be traced by opening its header but this technique fails when an email is to be traced sent from gmail account as gmail hide's the sender i.p. using a 64 bit encryption.
so to trace the location of a person, we can use readnotify free service.


Read Notify


What is ReadNotify?
ReadNotify is the most powerful and reliable email tracking service that exists today. In short - ReadNotify tells you when email you sent gets read / re-opened / forwarded and so much more.

Make an account at readnotify.com and compose a mail to the person you want to trace from the email id you used to create account at readnotify.com
Simply add: .readnotify.com to the end of your recipients email address
eg:
if the email to be traced is
[email protected] then use the email
[email protected] in recipient's email
and then send the email as a normal mail.
the moment the receiver opens that mail, you will get all the information listed below by logging into your account at readnotify.com

Information you can get with the help of read notify-


  • Date and time opened

  • Location of recipient (per their ISP city /town)

  • Map of location (available on paid subscriptions)

  • Recipients IP address

  • Apparent email address of opening (if available)

  • Referrer details (ie; if accessed via web mail etc)

  • URL clicks

  • How long the email was read for

  • How many times your email was opened

  • If your email was forwarded, or opened on a different computer
  • Posted by on

    I would like to trace an email that was sent on 4/5/2013 form [email protected] to [email protected]

    The only way you can get information is by checking the SMTP headers of the email you received on the "[email protected]" side. No one else can do this for you (Google/gmail could I guess, but sure how willing they would be).
