How to Know if Someone Read Your Email?

Check for a read receipt, if your email service supports it and the recipient allows it

Use email tracking tools or extensions that show opens and clicks

Look for a reply or follow-up from the recipient

Check whether the recipient clicked a tracked link in the email

See if the recipient downloaded an attached tracked file, if your tool supports that

Review delivery and open reports in your email marketing or business email platform

Note that many email clients block tracking pixels, so open tracking is not always reliable

Note that read receipts are often optional and can be declined

Assume you cannot know for sure unless the recipient confirms it
