When sending an email to a Saleforce contact using Gmail I would like to track the opening of that email and send it back to Salesforce.
Any ideas on how to do that ? The only way I found is to send the email from Salesforce.
Thanks a lot
The Chrome extension Email Tracker for Gmail - Mailtrack seems to have the functionality that you are looking for in their Pro (paid) version. It will tell you when your email has been read and it has an integration to Salesforce.
There are probably other third-party applications that provide similar functionality. For the record, I am not affiliated with them in any way.

I’m currently using Apple Hide My Email to create random email addresses for each website I create an account on. I really like the privacy and spam control I can get from this feature, but the Apple email client is terrible, and the process to create a new email is also terrible, specially when I’m not on my iPhone.
I would love to simulate this whole experience using a catch-all email config through Google Workspace. However, I don’t think I would be able to reply to incoming emails using the same email address that I used to create the account.
Is there a way to send emails from the email addresses I’m creating through a catch-all config on Google Workspace? If not, would it be possible to simulate the experience I have with Apple’s Hide my Email on Google Workspace?
ןs it possible to synchronize between my email and salesforce so that I can send emails to my customers and receive an alert when they reply to the email?
If so I would love to know how to do it :)
Quick&dirty way - configure Email-to-Case and you could be forwarding certain emails (manually? with some automated rule?)
Read up about InboundEmailHandler and you could have it bit smarter, piece of code that could find previous messages, reopen cases, link them to right contact...
Bit more involved would be proper Gmail / Office 365 /... mail sync. It used to be called "Lightning Sync" but looks like they're phasing it out. Try https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=sf.einstein_sales_aac.htm&type=5
All the stack overflow questions I've seen about sending an email attachment in Sendgrid involve the v3 API. I'm just looking to use one of the Single Send marketing emails, although there is nothing I can find in the Sendgrid UI to attach anything to a single send email. Sendgrid is difficult to get in touch with. Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so, how to do it?
The SendGrid Web UI, and the Marketing Campaigns platform as a whole, do not support message attachments.
I am creating an app that needs to connect to the Gmail server and fetch the inbox emails and sort them out and store them in core data modal. I have no idea on how I could integrate this gmail into my app. Is there api available in Gmail, that would work with NSURLConnection.
Consider using POP or IMAP?
Gmail offers RSS feeds for Inboxes http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=18218
I don't think there's a Gmail API.
I found something that lets me read the email in the form of atom feed,
requesting to the following url could fetch my email in XML format :
https://USERNAME:PASSWORD#gmail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom
Thank you for your suggestion. Helped me lot !
There is a new Gmail API now:

How do I use Google Apps' email services to send mail using the CodeIgniter email class? The email class seems to prefer SMTP, and I was going through the clients Google Apps account. I can't find any place within the Google Apps settings for SMTP. Does anyone know of a solution for this issue?
Right you don't find it because CodeIgniter uses the "mail" PHP function.
For some reasons only the most drunken PHP core developer knows about - this function do not support SMTP and worse even the admin can't configure SMTP usuage on Unix (it is possible to do this on windows - making the PHP design look even more crazy).
There are a few SMTP libraries out there that can handle SMTP Email, just use them
http://pear.php.net/package/Mail
http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmailer/
http://swiftmailer.org/
or the Email classes from the Zend Framework which are uncoupled from the rest so easy to use with CodeIgniter.
Here is a blog post detailing instructions:

Extract From link:
Why send email with Gmail rather than
the server's SMTP configuration? There
are a number of advantages I see for
doing this: Ability to develop locally
and test email sending functionality
without going to lengths to setup a
local mail server. Ability to utilise
Google Apps emails to send email from
emails which are on your own domain.
Ability to have a reference of the
mail you send using this method in the
"sent" folder on your Gmail account.
