Inbox Checker

Full technical diagnosis of an email address: mailbox, domain, DNS, SMTP, authentication and blacklists.

About the Inbox Checker

The Inbox Checker looks up the mail servers for the address, connects to them the same way another mail server would and asks whether the mailbox exists — without sending any message. It also flags disposable, role-based and catch-all addresses.

Some providers accept every address (catch-all) or hide mailbox status. In those cases the result is shown as unknown instead of pretending the address is valid.

Deliverable or not?

We test everything that can be tested from the outside — but only the receiving server knows if a message will reach the inbox. Results are PASS, WARNING, FAIL or UNKNOWN; we never claim more than the checks prove.

Frequently asked questions

How do I check if an email address is valid?

Enter it above. We check the syntax, the domain and its MX records, then ask the receiving server about the mailbox over SMTP. No email is sent.

What is a catch-all domain?

A domain that accepts mail for any address. The server says yes to every mailbox, so a single address cannot be confirmed; we report it as catch-all or unknown.

Is it safe to verify an email address?

Yes. The check stops before any message is transmitted, so the recipient is never contacted.

Can I verify a whole list?

Yes — use bulk email verification in your account to upload a CSV and download cleaned results.
