Blocking Email Tracking

How do you avoid email tracking?
With a particular email app? or just by turning off the “Load remote content in messages” option in Mail App?

Thanks

Yes. Just by blocking the remote content from loading as you described.

This, plus I’m running a pi-hole on my network which should block a bunch of that traffic as well. Doesn’t help me when I’m not at home though.

I think there was a trick that there would be a 1-pixel image that gets loaded when you view an e-mail. If the image gets loaded in your e-mail, it triggers a response that can be tracked. That would be a way for others to know that you opened their email. If the graphic was accessed, it means that you probably looked at the e-mail.

Blocking image preview would prevent that 1 pixel graphic image from loading and preventing the server from knowing you’ve read the e-mail.
