How to Warm Up Your Email Address

Updated over 10 months ago

When you connect your Dedicated Email Domain, you need to "warm it up" before sending lots of emails. This helps build a good reputation and prevents your emails from going to spam.

Step 1: Start by Sending a Few Emails

Send emails to friends, colleagues, or other accounts you own. Start small—about 5 emails per day in the first few days.

Step 2: Get Replies

Ask the people you email to reply to your messages. This shows email providers that your emails are real conversations, not spam.

Step 3: Gradually Increase Emails Sent

Slowly increase the number of emails you send each day. Here's a rough guideline:

  • Week 1: 5–20 emails per day

  • Week 2: 20–50 emails per day

  • Week 3: 50–100 emails per day

  • Week 4: 100–250 emails per day

Adjust based on engagement and avoid sudden jumps.

Step 4: Avoid Sending Bulk Emails Too Soon

Don't send lots of emails at once, especially in the first few weeks. This can trigger spam filters.

Step 5: Send to Real People

Make sure you are emailing real people, not just test accounts. Engaging in real conversations helps improve your email’s reputation.

Step 6: Keep Your Emails Simple and Natural

Write normal, friendly emails—not promotional or spammy messages. Short, genuine messages work best.

Step 7: Keep It Going for 3–4 Weeks

Continue warming up your email for at least 3–4 weeks before using it for larger email campaigns.

Bonus Tip: Use an Email Warm-up Tool

There are tools available that can automate this process for you, but manual warm-up is also effective.

✅ Warm-Up Checklist

  • Send 5 emails per day to real contacts in Week 1

  • Ask recipients to reply to your emails

  • Increase volume gradually each week

  • Avoid sending promotional or bulk emails too soon

  • Keep email messages friendly and simple

  • Continue warm-up for 3–4 weeks

  • Consider using an email warm-up tool for automation

By following these steps, your emails will be more likely to reach inboxes instead of spam folders. 😊
