General troubleshooting

A message looks opened when the person says it was not

The quick answer

An image request can come from privacy infrastructure or scanning before the person reads anything. Inspect the classification; even likely-human evidence remains a probabilistic signal rather than proof of reading.

In Latest activity, search for Atlas. Open Maya's message to inspect the individual report.

Check the recipient and timeline: one likely-human open, no clicks. You can download a certificate for this message.

Now open Elena's privacy-protected event. The privacy fetch stays separate from likely-human engagement.

Open Email tracking and change the report period to seven days. The report updates to the selected window.

Read open activity correctly

  1. Find the tracked message

    Open Email tracking and search by subject or recipient. Choose a date range that includes the send.

  2. Inspect the event classification

    Likely-human evidence is separate from privacy-protected image fetches, security scans, sender/self activity, and unknown requests.

  3. Check delivery scope

    A normal email with multiple recipients shares a tracker. Use individualized campaign deliveries when you need recipient-level attribution.

  4. Use other evidence

    A likely-human click may imply access when images are blocked. Replies come from a connected mailbox and are separate evidence.
