The ExactTarget application maintains a history of activity for an email.

What Is Email History

The email history feature is a record of all past and future (scheduled) deliveries of an email. Additionally, it allows you to cancel a scheduled delivery if you do not want the email to be delivered at that time after all.

You can view tracking results from Email History as well as preview the content by clicking on the Job ID.

Why Use Email History

Use the email feature when you want to view the send history of an email.
