How to Warm Up Your Email Address

Updated over a week 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. 😊
