Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about email verification.
Do I need email validation if I use Gmail or Outlook?
Yes, if you send newsletters, campaigns, or cold outreach. Gmail and Outlook help you send emails, but they do not check whether the addresses you’re sending to actually exist.
Does Gmail or Outlook check if an email address is real before sending?
No. They only check basic formatting, like the presence of an “@” symbol. They do not verify whether the inbox is active or able to receive emails.
Can sending to invalid emails hurt my Gmail or Outlook account?
Yes. High bounce rates can damage your sender reputation, cause emails to land in spam, or even lead to account restrictions over time.
When don’t I need email validation?
You usually don’t need it if you send a small number of one-to-one emails to people you know personally and contact regularly.
How does email validation work with Gmail or Outlook?
You validate your email list before sending. A validation tool cleans your contacts, removes invalid or risky emails, and then you import the clean list back into Gmail or Outlook before launching a campaign.
