Protecting your Gmail sender reputation during outreach
Your mailbox reputation is the single biggest factor in whether cold emails land in the inbox or in spam. It's slow to build and quick to lose.
Start slow
New mailboxes should send a small number of emails per day and grow gradually. AceMail's warmup toggle keeps volume low while your mailbox earns trust.
Set hourly and daily limits
Sudden bursts look robotic. Spreading sends across the day with per-hour and per-day caps looks like a real person writing emails.
Clean your lists
Bounces hurt. Verify addresses before importing, and remove contacts who ask to stop hearing from you.
Watch mailbox health
Keep an eye on failed sends and reconnect warnings on the Mailboxes page — they're the early signal that something needs attention.
