Tracking being tracked.

How can I tell when I'm being tracked.

[Puterdummy]

I have an email address and correspond on a regular basis. I know I'm tracked through a service called guardpuppy. Is there a way to block this tracking service in my email but still receive the mails. I've been told this is a bad service to use is there one that will track a sent email showing when it was received, how many times it was opened, etc.?

Thanks for your help in advance. I'm kind of a dummy so talk in simple terms or I just won't get it.

just disable html emails and you can not be tracked by any currently available technology

Thanks TopGun, does this include email as well. I use a general email address and don't want tracked through the address. So, if it does not allow any html then it can not be tracked through guardpuppy or any other email tracking?

Thank you for your help.

Unless you are using a proxy, you can always be tracked down. Also, if you are using a real account (I.E. AOL, Earthlink, etc., you can also be tracking down by that e-mail address within their databases. So, is there any real way to setup a complete anonomous e-mail account? Well, yes if you do not mind a web account, but no with a pop account. With a pop account, all providers require a credt card or paypal payment. Which in turn, could eventually reveal yourself. The only way to be 99.999% sure, is to use a proxification service (or setup one yourself), go to one of the free services, and continously login in via the proxy service. If you accidently log in with your real Internet Protocol address, then it would be recorded within the web mail account log and show up in the headers of your e-mail.

Hope that answers your question.
