How to Set Up Inbox Placement
This information explains Inbox Placement setup and how to send test messages.
MxToolbox's Inbox Placement tests your message's deliverability pre-send to popular providers (Google G Suite/Gmail, Microsoft Outlook 365, and Yahoo! Mail) to determine if it will hit the inbox, the corresponding Spam/Junk folder, or not be delivered at all. The reported test results alert you to the status of your email before clicking the send button so you can take corrective actions.
If you already set up Inbox Placement, click here.
By integrating with MxToolbox's Inbox Placement, you can get ahead of unknown email delivery issues and stay out of the dreaded Spam folder. Additionally, you can decide if you want to test your email marketing campaign's inbox placement automatically (via setting it up to work in your campaigns) or simply run inbox placement tests on test/draft emails before sending.

What Happens to Inbox Placement Emails?
When you send an email to our Inbox Placement feature, the email is temporarily stored and deleted after 180 days. It is inaccessible on a secure server.
We are unable to immediately delete the email because current and future features will analyze it and produce related results/data.
