Not Authenticating Your Email Accounts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing you should do before starting your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trulyinbox.com\/blog\/email-warmup\/\">email warm-up<\/a> is setting up your authentication records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you miss this step, you\u2019re email accounts will probably <strong><em>get blacklisted<\/em><\/strong> even before you start reaching out to your prospects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are <strong>three authentication protocols,<\/strong> and here\u2019s what they do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sender Protocol Framework (SPF):<\/strong> This protocol will tell Email Service Providers (ESPs \u2013 Gmail, Yahoo, etc) that<em> your emails are coming from an authorized server.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Domain-Keys Identified Mail (DKIM):<\/strong> Adds a digital signature to your emails to show ESPs that it has not been tampered with when in transit. This is very important to show your email&#8217;s integrity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance (DMARC):<\/strong> This is the final security checkpoint. You can tailor your DMARC policy to tell ESPs how to handle emails that fail SPF and DKIM checks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are <strong>planning on using your email accounts for cold emails or outreach<\/strong>, I suggest setting up all three authentications the moment you get your hands on your new email account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to know how to set up your records correctly, I\u2019ve written a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trulyinbox.com\/blog\/how-to-set-up-spf-dkim-and-dmarc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">step-by-step guide on setting up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC<\/a> that walks you through the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-Using-a-Shared-IP-Address\">2. Sending Too Many Emails From the Start<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the most <strong><em>common email warm-up mistake<\/em><\/strong> I see many cold emailers and marketers make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the <strong><em>fastest way to destroy your sender reputation<\/em><\/strong> before it has a chance to build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you start sending a high volume of emails right away, email service providers (ESPs) like Gmail, Outlook, etc., will flag you for suspicious behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>The Solution:<\/em><\/strong> Start by sending just 2 or 3 emails a day. Then gradually increase your sending volume by about 20 percent each day till you reach the recommended limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For cold emails, the recommended limit is about 50 emails per day per account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And for email marketing, you can go up to about 100 emails per day per account.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- This site is converting visitors into subscribers and customers with OptinMonster - https:\/\/optinmonster.com :: Campaign Title: (TI) - Email Warm Up Mistakes CTA#1 -->\n<div id=\"om-lkb81mtl6xhx7xbcmndy-holder\"><\/div>\n<script>(function(d,u,ac){var s=d.createElement('script');s.type='text\/javascript';s.src='https:\/\/a.omappapi.com\/app\/js\/api.min.js';s.async=true;s.dataset.user=u;s.dataset.campaign=ac;d.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(s);})(document,153389,'lkb81mtl6xhx7xbcmndy');<\/script>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

Warming Up Inconsistently<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal of email warm-up is to <strong>prove to Email Service Providers (ESPs) that you\u2019re a trusted sender<\/strong>, not a bot spamming their users with irrelevant content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you send 10 emails today, 20 tomorrow, then none the next day, and suddenly 10 again, you\u2019re sending mixed signals to the ESP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This inconsistency will hurt your sender reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I highly recommend that you <strong>follow a consistent email warm-up schedule<\/strong>. It will increase your inbox placement rate and boost your sender reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s my guide on how you should <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trulyinbox.com\/blog\/how-to-warm-up-email-domain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">properly warm up your domains before outreach<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- This site is converting visitors into subscribers and customers with OptinMonster - https:\/\/optinmonster.com :: Campaign Title: (TI) - Email Warm Up Mistakes CTA#2 -->\n<div id=\"om-fztkgvawelmngnuai8ty-holder\"><\/div>\n<script>(function(d,u,ac){var s=d.createElement('script');s.type='text\/javascript';s.src='https:\/\/a.omappapi.com\/app\/js\/api.min.js';s.async=true;s.dataset.user=u;s.dataset.campaign=ac;d.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(s);})(document,153389,'fztkgvawelmngnuai8ty');<\/script>\n<!-- \/ https:\/\/optinmonster.com -->\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-Emailing-Random-Accounts\">5.

Not Cleaning Your Email List<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout my experience in outreach, I\u2019ve noticed that some users <strong>obtain email lists just to send warm-up emails<\/strong>\u2014and that\u2019s where they go wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re sending warm-up emails to unverified, inactive, or low-quality addresses, you\u2019re <strong>doing more harm than good<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your emails may bounce, go unopened, or get flagged as spam, etc., and all this will damage your sender reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Fix I Suggest: <\/strong>Send your warm-up emails to people you know well and ask them to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Open your emails<\/strong> as soon as they land in their inbox.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reply naturally<\/strong> to create engagement (even a short response works).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mark your emails as important<\/strong> or move them out of the spam folder if they land there<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"background: linear-gradient(94.76deg, rgba(246, 132, 63, 0.14) 2.34%, rgba(191, 100, 148, 0.14) 97.51%); position: relative; padding: 30px 40px;margin-top: 20px;margin-bottom: 20px;border-radius: 10px;border: 3.5px solid #E17863;\">\n<p style =\"margin-bottom: 0em !important\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 500\"><strong>The Fix I Recommend:<\/strong> &#8220;Use a platform like <a href=\"https:\/\/app.trulyinbox.com\/signup?utm_source=emailwarmupmistakes&#038;utm_medium=blog&#038;utm_campaign=optinmonstercta\">TrulyInbox<\/a> to automate the entire process and not depend on anyone.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-Not-Monitoring-Your-Sender-Reputation\">7. Not Monitoring Your Sender Reputation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One scenario I\u2019ve often observed in email warm-ups is that <strong>users send emails and just hope for the best<\/strong>\u2014thinking that after three or four weeks, they\u2019re good to go for their cold email or outreach campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But here\u2019s the reality: Email warm-up isn\u2019t just about waiting\u2014it\u2019s about <strong>actively monitoring your sender reputation<\/strong> to ensure everything is going smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t track your sender reputation, you could be <strong>wasting weeks on a failed warm-up process<\/strong> without even realizing it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s what you should do to avoid this \ud83d\udc47<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use<strong> Google\u2019s (free) Postmaster Tools<\/strong> to monitor your sender and domain reputation, and you can also check for spam complaints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you see a dip or spike in these metrics, you\u2019ll have to take corrective action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-Using-Spammy-Words\">8. Using Spammy Words<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you use spammy or salesy phrases like \u201cDeal,\u201d \u201cDiscount,\u201d \u201cBuy Now,\u201d and similar trigger words in your warm-up emails, you send red flags to spam filters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ESPs scan subject lines and body content for these terms, and repeated use can get your emails routed to the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.trulyinbox.com\/blog\/how-to-avoid-gmail-promotions-tab\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> promotions tab<\/a> or spam folder, even during warm-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Solution:<\/strong> Keep your warm-up emails simple and conversational.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use neutral language instead of hard-sell words, and focus on making the email look like a genuine message rather than a marketing pitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also Read:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trulyinbox.com\/blog\/emails-going-to-spam\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Stop Emails From Going to Spam?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"9-Not-Personalizing-Warm-up-Emails\">9. Not Personalizing Warm-up Emails<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another common mistake I\u2019ve seen (and even made myself) is that users send generic-sounding emails during email warm-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ESP spam filters are smart<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If they notice a <strong>set pattern of emails<\/strong> being sent  from your account, they might mistake you for a bot and mark your email account for malicious activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And what does that mean?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You guessed it<\/strong>: low sender reputation, low deliverability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, and I can\u2019t emphasize this enough: <strong>always personalize your emails, even during the warm-up phase<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also Read:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trulyinbox.com\/blog\/cold-email-personalization\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cold Email Personalization: All You Need To Know in 2026<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"10-Not-Creating-Conversational-Threads\">10.

How is email warm-up helpful?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In my experience, email warm-up can help you in two ways. First, it allows you to quickly boost the sender reputation of your new email account. Second, it can help you repair the sending reputation of an old account you might have used for email outreach or cold emails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. How does email warm-up work?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Email warm-up is a simple strategy whose aim is to boost the sender reputation of email accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s what you need to do to conduct an email warm-up:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Set up your email and authenticate the security credentials<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Start sending a small number of emails to verified accounts with a high sender reputation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maintain conversational threads and gradually ramp up the daily sending volumes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep the maximum number of emails to 50\/day<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Monitor your sender reputation to verify that the email warm-up is increasing your sender reputation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Can I manually warm up my email accounts?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you can manually warm up email accounts by engaging with other email accounts that enjoy a high sender reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, in my experience, manual email warm-up can be a very tedious process. The easier approach that has always worked for me is to automate the entire process through an email warm-up tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it requires some initial investment, it guarantees results and takes guesswork out of the process!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Is using an email warm-up platform the only way to avoid warm-up mistakes?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In my opinion, yes: using an email warm-up platform is the only way to (for sure) avoid all the warm-up mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s because the warm-up tool sticks to very precise instructions that you provide: it\u2019ll send a set number of emails, receive replies, and boost your sender reputation within weeks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [{\n    \"@type\": \"Question\",\n    \"name\": \"1.

While working in outbound sales, he noticed that many focused on sending large volumes of emails but overlooked inbox placement. He knew this wasn\u2019t an efficient approach, so he took it upon himself to find ways to improve deliverability. After years of experimenting, he became an expert in inbox placement. Today, Vatsal helps TrulyInbox with growth strategies and shares his expertise on deliverability through blogs.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/vatsaas\/"],"url":"https:\/\/www.trulyinbox.com\/blog\/author\/vatsal\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.trulyinbox.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/170","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.trulyinbox.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.trulyinbox.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.trulyinbox.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.trulyinbox.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=170"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/www.trulyinbox.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/170\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2181,"href":"https:\/\/www.trulyinbox.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/170\/revisions\/2181"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.trulyinbox.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/220"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.trulyinbox.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=170"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.trulyinbox.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=170"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.trulyinbox.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=170"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
