Inbox Placement Tester

YouTube video preview

The Inbox Placement Tester checks if your emails/newsletters will make it to your recipient’s inbox. This test will allow you to send an email to different mailbox providers around the world and quickly check to see the folder placement of that email (Inbox, Spam, Promotions).

The Inbox Placement Tester uses over 20 different global mailbox providers. This test can diagnose deliverability errors and grant insight into how different mailbox providers handle your email campaigns.

Important Note: If you send out a single email with multiple recipients and CC's, it may be flagged as spam. Please send out multiple emails when testing with fewer To/CC's for better results.

    Any email that is uncategorized
  • Missing
    When emails are missing it's usually a result of a mis-configuration of your mail server (Use our Email Server Tester to diagnose), a virus was detected, or your IP/Domain Name is being blacklisted.
  • SPAM
    When emails are marked spam, it's usually a result of the content or lack of content being sent, your IP hasn't been warmed up, or a mis-configuration of your mail server (Use our Email Server Tester to diagnose).

Note:

To ensure accurate results when running an Inbox Placement Test, we strongly recommend using realistic and verifiable email content. The message sent to our seed list should closely resemble your actual campaigns in terms of layout, tone, subject line, and overall structure. Avoid using placeholder text or test content, as this can trigger spam filters and skew the placement data.
