6 Chrome extensions to track your Gmail

Here are six chrome extensions that will help you to track your Gmail. These extensions come with a lot of features that keep you in constant touch with your emails. The cool apps will help you to utilise your gmail in a multiple ways

Bananatag Email Tracking

In addition to its Chrome extension, Bananatag also has an add-on for Outlook, and can work with other email client programs (which are configured to route email through the Bananatag SMTP servers). Along with tracking whenever a recipient opens your email, Bananatag can also keep count of the times a link inside your tracked email has been clicked. This service includes send-later, remind-later and send-recurring email functions.

Boomerang for Gmail

This extension is the most popular of those covered in this article, approaching one million users. I suspect that Boomerang may have gotten all this love for its send-later and remind-later features rather than its email tracking, which has fewer capabilities than some of the others here (such as Bananatag).

Mail2Cloud for Chrome

Mail2Cloud's most notable feature is that the files you attach to a tracked email can be set so that they can no longer be downloaded by the recipient after 1, 3, 7 or 30 days -- a handy feature for time-sensitive materials. The service also lets you convert an email to PDF (along with archiving whatever files are attached in their original format) and store it in Box, Dropbox, Google Drive or ShareFile.

MailTrack for Gmail

MailTrack lets you track an unlimited number of emails for free -- but there's an odd catch: Under a free account, tracking cannot be turned off.

Sidekick by HubSpot

Sidekick is the second most popular app in this article, with more than 500,000 users of its Chrome extension. It comes from HubSpot, an online marketing platform, whose email tracking is also available for Outlook and Apple Mail.

Yesware Email Tracking

Yesware is geared toward the business user, as evidenced by its (for pay) reporting features for CRM and Salesforce accounts and its add-on for Outlook.
