Getting Started with Mailivery

Welcome to Mailivery! 👋🏻

Congratulations on successfully registering for Mailivery! 🎉 We're excited to have you as part of our peer-to-peer (P2P) community and help you build a strong sender reputation.

In this guide, we'll cover the basics and walk you through setting up your Mailivery account so you can start warming up your mailboxes in no time. 

What is Mailivery?

Mailivery is a P2P warmup platform that helps you establish and maintain a solid sender reputation. A good sender reputation ensures your emails consistently reach the mailbox, instead of being filtered as spam or promotions.

However, establishing that positive reputation can be a challenging process, especially for new senders or those transitioning to a new email service provider (ESP). Sudden spikes in volume, inconsistent sending patterns, or past spam issues can all negatively impact your reputation.

That's where Mailivery comes in—our warmup platform is built to help you develop and maintain a positive sending reputation by mimicking organic email patterns. By adhering to warmup best practices, Mailivery positions you as a trustworthy and reputable sender to internet service providers and inbox filters for improved inbox placement.

How to Adjust Emails Per Day and Response Rates

By default, warmup mailboxes are set to a Paused or Pending status after connection. This is to allow users to review their campaign settings before launching, including emails per day and response rates.

Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Either from the Email Accounts tab or Dashboard, select the mailbox you wish to review the settings for. 

Step 2: Access your mailbox settings by clicking on the ⚙️ gear icon found next to the account name.  

Step 3: Under the Preferences tab, adjust your Emails Per Day and Response Rate settings to your liking. 

Step 4: Once confirmed, click the "Update Limits” button. 

How to Turn On Email Ramp-up

(Recommended for High Volume Sending) 

Mailivery's ramp-up feature automatically warms up accounts by gradually increasing sending limits over time. This controlled pacing establishes a positive sender reputation and avoids risky spikes that can trigger blocks.

This is an optional setting with no minimum number of emails per day required, but highly recommend for those dealing with high volume sending. This setting can be enabled or disabled according to your preferences.

Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Either from the Email Accounts tab or Dashboard, select the mailbox you wish to review the settings for. 

Step 2: Access your mailbox settings by clicking on the ⚙️ gear icon found next to the account name. 

Step 3: Under the Preferences tab, scroll down to the Daily Ramp-Up section and toggle the switch to “On” to enable ramp-up. 

Step 4: From the dropdown options, select your preferred ramp-up speed (Slow, Normal or Fast). 

Step 5: Once confirmed, click the “Update Ramp-up Settings” button.

How to Customize Sending Schedule

After successfully connecting your mailbox/es to Mailivery, you can go ahead and start sending out warmup emails using Mailivery’s default send schedule, or you can set it according to your own preference. Your email sending schedule can be edited at any time.

Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Either from the Email Accounts tab or Dashboard, select the connected mailbox you wish to edit the sending schedule of. 

Step 2: Access your mailbox settings by clicking on the ⚙️ gear icon found next to the account name. 

Step 3: Navigate to the Sending Times tab and ensure to set the correct timezone for sending. 

Step 4: Under the same tab, set the corresponding sending time window for the days you wish to send warmup emails. 

Step 5: Click on the “Update” button.
