# Open

If you see this status in the statistics, the recipient opened a message. Remember that an Open tracking mechanism can count an email as opened even when the recipient did not act.

Find out more about counting opens from our blog post:

<table data-view="cards"><thead><tr><th></th><th></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>📈 <strong>Open Rate</strong></td><td>Why does it not make sense to analyse only Open Rate?</td><td><a href="https://emaillabs.io/en/does-email-open-rate-still-matter/">MORE >></a></td></tr></tbody></table>

**⬅️ Detailed information on each status can be found in the drop-down menu on the left.**
