What does "Track Delivery" do?

If you have the Premium Service, you can track messages you compose on Mailshell's site and know when the recipients have opened the message. To have the message tracked, simply check the "Track Delivery" box when composing a message. You can then go to your Sent folder to view information about the message: the "Tracking Status" column will display a link that says either "Not Opened" or "Opened:" and the date on which the message was first opened. (If the message was opened today, you will also see the Pacific Standard Time it was opened.) If you sent the message to multiple recipients, this link will display only the date it was first opened by any of those recipients; you can click on the link to see when each individual recipient opened it.

If you would like to track most of your messages, you can change the default for Track Delivery; you also have the option of receiving an email receipt when messages have been opened.

If you have the free trial service, this feature is available during the 30-day trial period after you first sign up. Once that period has expired, you can upgrade to the Premium Service to continue using it.
