Does email tracking service work?
As i can understand it is not possible to give each and every inforamtion from tracking of an email, Yes they can provide you various information but the half of the information most of the time are missing. Sometimes they are able to provide you the actual IP address of the email sender but on the other time if the email has been sent by proxy IP address then they can't be able to get the actual Ip address of the email sender.
