Managing your email
What do you guys use to manage your email when cold e-mailing (I suppose this also applies to people fully in the workforce as well)? I'm reading about Yesware for Gmail and it seems like a good add-on, I can tell when/if the recipient opened the message (I'm hoping and assuming the person on the other end doesn't know the email has been tracked).
I already use Boomerang to send email messages at a later time, so I can compose a cold e-mail after work, but have it arrive in the other person's inbox in the morning.
What tools do you guys use?
Those practices seem pretty efficient. I'll use Outlook to schedule some emails if sending via my school's email account. I think I'd find the read/read receipt option too much for me; cold emailing already makes me too nervous.
I do what most probably do and keep an excel file of different tabs for different companies and a master list of potential contacts, positions, know I know them, etc.

Be careful with this. My work email pulls out all images in the body and puts them as attachments.
Yeah, my biggest fear is someone knowing I'm tracking the email, that would be a little too much. So Michael, you can tell when someone has tracked your email?
I use a spreadsheet format I found on here too, very useful.
I can't definitively say that I know they are tracking emails, but I am able to see that there is an image of a 1x1 white pixel attached.
Personally, I don't think it is worth the risk or the knowledge. Even if they view your email 50 times, it means nothing unless they have responded. Put your best foot forward and hope for the best.
