Dear All,
How to check the email delivery status. We are developing an application that sends out email to a group of customers.
Is there any possiblity to check the email delivery status and the bounced mails.
I have seen similar stuff in some email marketing websites, where the delivery as well as the bounced figures are displayed. Is the same possible in C#.
We are using google gmail or hotmail.
Pls help and thanks in advance

I think gmail does sends back failure reports. You can check the account through which you are sending the mails for that. For delivery or read reports, Gmail does not supports it. Although if the mail client of user is sonething like Outlook, it does. But again the user has the power to turn it off.

I think you can rely on the failure reports and if you do not get that, consider the mail as delivered.

You might need to get in touch with the email providers. They might be able to help you out.
Building a pop client could help you as well. However, I think you need to pay for enabling POP.
