How To Check if an E-Mail Has Been Delivered in Gmail

Gmail works the same as any other mail server in that it queues up emails after accepting them onto the server and delivers them depending on how important it thinks they are.

Once your gmail message has been delivered in Gmail, you’ll see the status in your gmail logs change from “accepted” to lớn “delivered.”

If there is a long delay before your emails are delivered to lớn Gmail users, you should make sure you’re meeting Google’s new sender requirements. If you’re not meeting these requirements, Gmail will start to lớn delay the delivery of your emails before it blocks them completely.

Gmail also has a read receipts feature that you can enable within Gmail settings. If you use Gmail to lớn send emails, you can activate read receipts when you compose an gmail. This will let you know when a user reads your gmail as well as when it was delivered. However, this is not recommended, as the person you sent the message to lớn will have to lớn approve the delivery receipt before you’re notified.

What Does E-Mail Accepted Status Mean?

An accepted status means that a mail server has accepted your gmail. However, this also means it hasn’t been delivered to lớn the recipient’s mailbox yet.

If you kiểm tra the dashboard in SendLayer or another SMTP mail service and see an gmail is “accepted”, you might assume that it has been successfully, delivered, but this is not the case.

Think about mailing a letter. Once you’ve left it with the postal service or courier, your job is done. But your letter still needs to lớn be delivered to lớn the address on the envelope. In most cases, this happens without issue. But sometimes the mail courier can’t find the right address, sometimes it can be delayed, and sometimes your mail can go missing completely.

The same is true of gmail. Most mail servers lập cập some basic checks to lớn decide if they’ll accept your gmail at all. If your sending address is on a blocklist, they might reject it from the start. Otherwise, they’ll accept it and then decide what to lớn vì thế with it.

Why Is There a Delay Between Accepted and Delivered Status?

Once a receiving mail server accepts your gmail, it runs a series of checks and filters to lớn choose what to lớn vì thế with it.

This might include:

  • Accepting it and delivering it to lớn the recipient’s inbox
  • Accepting it but delivering it to lớn the recipient’s spam box
  • Rejecting it completely.
How SMTP Mail Works

Mail servers use authentication information, spam filters, and other data such as engagement with previous emails sent from your tên miền to lớn decide what to lớn vì thế with your gmail.

These checks take some time and some mail servers are slower kêu ca others. So unfortunately, you don’t have much influence over how fast an gmail changes from “accepted” to lớn “delivered”.

But if you’ve been wondering why emails sit on your dashboard with an accepted status for a long time before they change to lớn delivered, there might be one reason you have some control over: your sender reputation.

How Sender Reputation Affects Delivery Time

If many of your emails are taking a long time to lớn change from accepted to lớn delivery status, this may be because you need to lớn improve the reputation of your tên miền or IP address.

Think of your emails waiting to lớn be processed at the receiving mail server as if they’re waiting in line for access to lớn an exclusive club alongside emails from other senders.

The checks the mail server lập cập on your messages act as the bouncer at the door. In most cases you’ll have to lớn wait in line. But if you’re a VIP or you’ve been to lớn that club many times and have a good reputation there, you might be able to lớn cut to lớn the front of the line.

Mail servers will process incoming emails in order of how important they think they are. If you have a great tên miền reputation and good open and click rates on the emails you sent out, they’re likely to lớn be delivered faster.

Sender Reputation

This is why it’s a good idea to lớn separate your transactional and marketing gmail campaigns and send them from different domains if possible.

Transactional emails such as password resets and order confirmations have a high engagement rate because websites use gmail to lớn communicate this information that users need right away. 

For this reason, it’s also crucial that these emails are delivered quickly. Using a transactional gmail provider lượt thích SendLayer, which sends from a subdomain, can help to lớn ensure your important emails reach the inbox with minimal delay.

What to lớn Do If Your Emails Are Accepted But Not Delivered

If you’ve followed best practices to lớn build up a good gmail tên miền reputation and you’re sending transactional emails separately from bulk, marketing emails, the time it takes your gmail to lớn hit the inbox should be relatively short.

But sometimes you might over up in a situation where your gmail seems stuck in accepted status and doesn’t change to lớn delivered.

Email delivery delays are not uncommon. It may take up to lớn 30 minutes for your gmail to lớn be delivered, depending on the receiving mail server and your reputation.

But emails shouldn’t stay in accepted status without being delivered for hours or days. If this is the case, you should vì thế some troubleshooting to lớn figure out why your messages aren’t reaching the inbox.

One possible issue for your emails being stuck in accepted status is that there is no MX record for the recipient tên miền. These records tell a server where to lớn route messages. But if the MX record doesn’t exist, the emails can’t be delivered. You can use a tool lượt thích MX Toolbox to lớn see if the records exist. 

If this issue is only happening with certain messages, there may be an issue with the receiving mail server such as the mailbox being full or not existing at the receiving over.

However, if a lot of the emails you’re sending seem to lớn be stuck in accepted status without being delivered, reach out to lớn the SendLayer tư vấn team (or the tư vấn team of your gmail provider if you use a different delivery service) for personalized advice on fixing the problem.

That’s it! Now you know how to kiểm tra gmail delivery status.
