Knowing that email is opened

[chrisfarrugia]

Hi all,

Is there a way using hmail server how I can know whether the emails delivered have been openend or not by the recepient?

Thanks a lot,

Nope. You can request a read receipt from the other person but that is a client feature and has nothing to do with the server.

If the recipient is a user of your server and it uses IMAP, you can read the hm_messages.messageFlagSeen in the sql table or use COM API.

That is true but it will only work for people on his server. I assume he want's to know if a user has read his email from say a newsletter. Most companies use an image or an url to track an email but that depends on the users mail client settings. There is no real accurate way to check this.
