If you use Mailtrack (now Mailsuite) on the free plan, every email you send includes a small line at the bottom: "Sent with Mailsuite." You want to know how to remove the Mailtrack signature, and you're not alone. It's the single most common complaint about the extension, repeated across thousands of Chrome Web Store reviews. The good news: you have options.

Mailtrack is a solid email tracker with over 3 million users and a 4.4/5 rating. The tracking itself works reliably. But the forced signature on free accounts is a dealbreaker for many professionals. Below are four methods to deal with it, ranked from least to most practical.

Why the Mailsuite Signature Is a Problem

Before diving into solutions, let's be clear about why this matters. The "Sent with Mailsuite" signature creates three specific problems:

It looks unprofessional. When you send a proposal, a job application, or a follow-up to a potential client, a third-party branding line at the bottom undermines your credibility. It signals that you're using a free tool, which isn't the impression most people want to leave.

It reveals that you're tracking. Most recipients don't know what Mailsuite is. But the ones who do will immediately realize you're monitoring whether they opened your email. That can feel intrusive, especially in sensitive conversations like negotiations, hiring, or sales outreach.

It can trigger spam filters. Email providers like Gmail and Outlook use content analysis to flag potential spam. A branded signature line from a known tracking service is a signal that automated tools are modifying the email. While it won't guarantee your email lands in spam, it increases the risk, particularly if the recipient's organization has strict filtering rules.

Method 1: Manually Remove the Signature Before Each Send

The simplest approach is to delete the "Sent with Mailsuite" text from your email before hitting send. Mailtrack inserts the signature into the compose window, and you can highlight it and press delete just like any other text.

The problem: This is tedious and unreliable. You have to remember to do it every single time. If you send 20-30 emails a day, that's 20-30 extra manual steps. And the moment you forget, even once, your recipient sees the branding. There's also no visual warning if you miss it, so you won't know until the email is already sent.

For occasional use, this works. For daily email workflows, it's not a real solution.

Method 2: Disable Tracking for That Specific Email

Mailtrack lets you toggle tracking off for individual emails. When tracking is disabled, no signature is added. You can find this toggle in the compose window, usually near the send button.

The problem: This completely defeats the purpose of having an email tracker. The whole reason you installed Mailtrack is to know when people read your emails. Turning it off to avoid the signature means choosing between tracking and professionalism, which shouldn't be a trade-off you have to make.

This method only makes sense for emails where you genuinely don't care about tracking, like casual messages to friends or internal team updates.

Method 3: Upgrade to Mailsuite Paid Plan

Mailsuite's paid plan removes the signature entirely. The Pro plan costs approximately 9.99 EUR per month (pricing varies by region and billing cycle). You also get link click tracking, daily reports, and priority support.

The problem: You're paying roughly 120 EUR per year primarily to remove a signature that the service itself added. The additional features are useful, but many users feel the pricing is steep for what amounts to a tracking pixel and redirect URLs. For freelancers, job seekers, or small teams on tight budgets, this cost adds up quickly.

If budget isn't a concern and you're happy with Mailtrack's interface, the paid plan is a straightforward fix. But if the signature is your only frustration, there's a better option below.

Method 4: Switch to a Free Email Tracker Without Signatures

The most permanent solution is to use an email tracker that never adds signatures or branding in the first place. TrackMailBox is a free Chrome extension for Gmail that provides unlimited email tracking, link click tracking, and real-time notifications without ever inserting a signature, watermark, or branding of any kind into your emails.

Unlike Mailtrack, there's no paid tier required to remove branding. TrackMailBox is 100% free with no monthly limits. Your recipients see exactly what you typed, nothing more.

How to Switch from Mailtrack to TrackMailBox

The migration takes less than 5 minutes. Here's the step-by-step process:

1. Save any tracking data you need. Take screenshots of your Mailtrack dashboard if you want to keep a record of open rates or click data. Tracking history does not transfer between extensions.
2. Uninstall Mailtrack from Chrome. Go to chrome://extensions, find Mailtrack (or Mailsuite), and click "Remove." This stops the signature from appearing immediately.
3. Revoke Mailtrack's Gmail permissions (optional but recommended). Go to your Google Account > Security > Third-party apps with account access. Find Mailtrack and click "Remove Access."
4. Install TrackMailBox. Visit the Chrome Web Store listing and click "Add to Chrome."
5. Sign in and grant permissions. Open Gmail, and TrackMailBox will prompt you to sign in and authorize access. This takes about 30 seconds.
6. Send a test email to yourself. Compose a quick email to your own address with tracking enabled. Open it from a different device or after a few minutes. You should receive a read notification, and the email should have no signature or branding.
7. You're done. Every email you send going forward will be tracked automatically with no visible signatures, no limits, and no cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does removing the Mailtrack signature stop tracking?

If you manually delete the signature text from the compose window, the tracking pixel typically remains embedded in the email. So yes, tracking should still work even without the visible signature. However, this behavior can vary between Mailtrack versions, and there's no guarantee it will stay consistent. The most reliable approach is to use a tracker that doesn't add signatures at all.

Is there a free version of Mailtrack without the signature?

No. Mailtrack's free plan always includes the "Sent with Mailsuite" signature. Removing it requires the paid Pro plan at approximately 9.99 EUR/month. If you want free email tracking without any signature, TrackMailBox offers exactly that with unlimited tracking.

Can recipients see the Mailtrack signature?

Yes. The "Sent with Mailsuite" line appears as visible text at the bottom of your email. Every recipient can see it. It's not hidden or subtle. This is different from the invisible tracking pixel, which recipients cannot see. The signature is a branding requirement for Mailtrack's free plan, not a technical necessity.

Will switching trackers affect my existing tracking data?

Your existing Mailtrack data (open history, click records, timestamps) stays with Mailtrack and is typically deleted when you uninstall the extension. No email tracker can import data from another tool. When you install TrackMailBox or any other alternative, tracking starts fresh from that point forward.
