mSpy has an email monitoring feature which provides access to all incoming and outgoing emails on the target device. If you want to know more about this spying solution, then be sure to read my insights from this page.

This app provides a lot of features for tracking and monitoring smartphones but its email monitoring function that has captured my attention this time. Here, I'll be sharing my actual experiences and comments about this tool.

Install mSpy!

The installation process

To install mSpy, you must have physical access to the target device. Take note that you only need to do this once, and it shouldn't take much time to get the app installed. Just follow the instructions, and there shouldn't be any problems.

The core of the email monitoring feature

Via this feature, you'll get access to sent and received mails on the targeted device including their attachments. The app does not require the user to know the email address or password of the target account but instead obtains email messages directly through phone’s email client.

What I was able to see

Sender & recipient's email address: This gave me detailed information on who sent the email, and who received it.
Subject line: It was also nice to know that the subject line was visible.
Date and time: The exact time at which each email was sent or received can also be retrieved.
Content: I was also able to read the full content or message of each email.
Attachments: Any attachments contained in thee emails can also be tracked.

The user experience

Accessing this feature can be easily done via the dashboard. Under the INTERNET USAGE category, I just clicked on "Email," and it gave me access to all the email messages sent and received by the device. It's like actually getting access to their account and being able to view the messages directly.

The pros and cons

Pros

It can track emails that are going in and out of the target’s email account, including attachments.
There's no need to know their email password. All you need to do is install it and you're done.
User interface is very simple and easy to get used to, even for the other features.

Cons

It needs an app that is compatible with its email application software to function.
It cannot track web-based emails

The verdict

I was really impressed with mSpy's capabilities for monitoring emails. The efficiency of this solution, however, depends on compatibility with the email platform used by the target device, which might be a limiting factor.

If the person you are tracking is using a compatible email client, then this won't be a problem. However, if they are using something else or accessing their emails through a web browser, then this is something the tool won't be able to monitor. Do take this into consideration.
