When user sends a message in mail_thread (chatter), for instance in partner form, then an email tracking is created for each email notification. Then a status icon will appear just right to name of notified partner. These are all available status icons: .. |sent| image:: ../static/src/img/sent.png :width: 10px .. |delivered| image:: ../static/src/img/delivered.png :width: 15px .. |opened| image:: ../static/src/img/opened.png :width: 15px .. |error| image:: ../static/src/img/error.png :width: 10px .. |waiting| image:: ../static/src/img/waiting.png :width: 10px .. |unknown| image:: ../static/src/img/unknown.png :width: 10px .. |cc| image:: ../static/src/img/cc.png :width: 10px |unknown| **Unknown**: No email tracking info available.
