Contents

How do I see Sent Mail in Linux?

This log is usually logged via syslog to /var/log/mail. log . If you’re running systemd with syslog support disabled, you’ll have to run journalctl -u <unitname> , where <unitname> is the name of your MTA’s systemd unit – e.g. postfix or exim or sendmail .

How do I know if an email was really delivered?

Go to the File tab and select Options. Select Mail. Scroll down to the Tracking section, and click the checkbox under For all messages sent, request: Delivery receipt confirming the message was delivered to the recipient’s email server and/or Read receipt confirming the recipient viewed the message.
