Right Inbox now lets you track when an e-mail is opened

Right Inbox has added a new feature to its existing Gmail browser extension that allows you to track when an e-mail is opened.

We originally told you about Right Inbox and how it allowed you to schedule when your e-mails in Gmail were to be sent. The latest version of the extension adds the ability to track when your e-mails are opened. If you currently have the Right Inbox extension installed, you should already see the new feature when composing an e-mail.

If you don't have the extension currently, head on over to RightInbox.com/install to get it. You'll need to be using either Firefox or Chrome. 






After the extension is installed, compose a new message in Gmail. You will see a new button with a check box next to the title of Track. Compose your message as you normally would, check the box if you wish to be alerted when your e-mail is opened, and send it on its way.

Once the recipient opens the e-mail, Right Inbox will send you an e-mail alerting you to the fact the e-mail has been opened. It's that easy.

I'm not sure why anyone would want to know where the person opened the e-mail is located, as well as the exact IP address it was opened from, but that information is included as well.

I know the feeling of sending off an important e-mail, hoping it was received and not sent to a junk folder on accident. There's that time period when you begin to question if a follow-up e-mail would be too pushy, or come across the wrong way. Tracking will help to let you know if the e-mail has been opened.

RightInbox Adds Reminders to Gmail and Notifies You When Email You Sent Is Read

 

Firefox/Chrome: Right Inbox is an extension for Chrome and Firefox that works with your Gmail account to schedule emails for sending later.

Firefox/Chrome: RightInbox is an awesome tool for boosting Gmail's capabilities. The extension when it first launched was designed to schedule email for sending later, but RightInbox since then has added even more useful features: email tracking, link click tracking, and email reminders. 

Once you connect the add-on to your Gmail account, you'll find new buttons in Gmail for scheduling an email to be sent later, tracking an email you compose, and adding reminders to an email. With the tracking, you don't have to rely on read receipts. 

RightInbox sends you an email telling you when the recipient opened your message and if any links in your email were clicked. It'll even tell you where the person was when your email was opened. 

The email reminder feature lets you add a handy reminder at a specific time or if you don't get a response to your email. You can also set the email to go to the top of your inbox. With these new features and the send later feature, RightInbox really improves how you can work with Gmail. (Of course, the Sparrow development team working on Gmail will probably enhance Gmail quite a bit too.)
