can you tell when someone has opened their email from you?

Answer 1

There's no way to tell for certain. Some mail senders allow you to request something called "return receipt", that sends you back an email when they open your mail.

However, if someone doesn't want you to know they opened it, they can still refuse to send the return receipt in most cases.

Answer 2

if you're talking about the yahoo mail or hotmail, the answer is yes and no. i can know if someone read my email because the color of the new mail is different from the one that i've already read. in yahoo mail, the new incoming maill will be in BOLD. the old one will be plain text. however, yahoo allows us to mark the old email as "Unread." and that's what makes it looks like i never read the email. so, if the person, who you suspect to hack your email, read your email, you can check if the newest incoming mail is not in BOLD. if he/she is smarter than you, and mark that as "Unread," then it's hard to find that out.

Answer 3

yes you can. if you use thunderbird or eudora as email client, there is option to send back notifier when someone opened your email.
Its a built in feature in those programs.

Answer 4

If you are both using Outlook, you can request a read reciept. They have to approve it though, and I don't think it works with anything else...

Answer 5

No.
