Important Settings After Connecting

Setting daily sending limits and configuring deliverability options help protect your email reputation and improve inbox placement rates. These settings control how many emails you send per day and manage warm-up and rotation strategies.

Understanding Deliverability, Warm-up, and Rotation

Email deliverability is critical to ensuring your emails reach the recipient’s inbox instead of their spam folder. Salesnode provides tools to help you maintain high deliverability through warm-up and rotation processes.

Deliverability

Deliverability refers to the likelihood of your emails successfully arriving in your recipients’ inboxes. Poor deliverability can reduce your campaign effectiveness significantly.

Warm-up

Warming up your mailbox involves gradually increasing the number of sent emails over time. This process builds trust with email providers and reduces the risk of being flagged as spam.

Rotation

Rotation means alternating between multiple mailboxes to distribute your sending volume. This helps prevent any single mailbox from being overused and improves overall deliverability.

Configuring Your Mailbox Settings

Once your mailbox is connected, you should configure key settings like daily sending limits, warm-up schedules, and rotation preferences. These settings ensure your emails are sent safely and effectively.

How to Configure Settings

1. Go to the Mailboxes tab and select the connected mailbox.
2. Click Edit settings or the gear icon next to the mailbox name.
3. Set your preferred daily sending limit based on your email provider’s guidelines.
4. Enable warm-up if your mailbox is new or has low sending volume.
5. Configure rotation if you plan to use multiple mailboxes for your campaigns.
6. Save your changes to apply the configurations.

Troubleshooting Connection Issues

Sometimes, connecting your mailbox may encounter issues due to authorization errors or incorrect SMTP settings. Here are common troubleshooting tips to help you resolve these problems.
