Is There Free Software for Tracking Emails?
Email tracking helps you figure out whether or not someone received your email, opened it or clicked on any of the links within the email body. You can use software to ensure that your emails are delivered to your intended recipient. Certain vendors offer free email tracking software programs. You should, however, only download programs from trusted vendors and websites.

MSGTAG
-
This program works with your current email program to track your emails. You will receive email notifications when your recipient receives your emails. This program works in in your computer's background, so you will compose your emails as you always do. Your recipient doesn't receive pop-ups. Instead, the recipient just sees a footer indicating that the sender received notification that the recipient received the email. MSGTAG works with common email programs, including Eudora, Outlook, Pegasus Mail and Outlook Express. You can download this program from the author's website.
Email Tracing
-
The Free Email Tracing Software is free for 14 days. It works with different email programs, including Hotmail, Outlook, Yahoo! and Outlook Express. This program allows you to see if your message was delivered and whether the message was read. It also tells you how long the person looked at the email, where your recipient read the email and whether the recipient clicked on any of your links. You can track messages sent to more than one recipient, and you can see whether your recipient read your PDF attachment. Another feature of the Free Email Tracing Software allows you to set an expiration date for your message. This program also translates your emails into different languages.

SpyPig
-
SpyPig tells you when someone has read your email. You receive email notifications when your recipient opens your email. You can use this program as often as you want, and you don't receive spam or spyware. SpyPig is compatible with different email programs, including Gmail, Eudora, Yahoo Email, Outlook and AOL. To use this program, however, you and your recipient must write emails in HyperText Markup Language (HTML). It is not compatible with rich or plain text formats.
GetNotify
-
This program allows you to see when someone opens your email without your recipient ever knowing that you are receiving a return receipt. GetNotify works with your current email system, so you don't need to change email services. You can track an unlimited number of emails each day. The program also provides you with information about your recipient's location, Internet Protocol (IP) address, operating system and browser.
