How to Check If an Email Address is Valid Without Sending an Email


How to Check If an Email Address is Valid Without Sending an Email

Time has changed, and so has the way email marketing worked. You can no longer send out a bunch of emails in the dark and expect them to land somewhere.

Remember- “Real customers start with real emails.”

Today, it requires more effort to ensure your emails reach where they belong and to get your prospects to open and respond to your emails.

But how do you ensure that your emails land into an inbox? - Simple. You verify the email addresses before sending an email to them.

Email Validation & Verification are still one of the best ways to ensure quality data collection.

Why is it important to verify an email before sending it?

The answer to this question is simple- "Email Deliverability"

Sending 500 emails to verified email addresses and getting higher deliverability is better than sending 1,000 outbound messages to unverified emails and getting too many bounces.

The more your emails bounce, the more likely your emails will be marked as spam. Not only will this waste your time, but the emails you send to valid addresses won't be delivered as well.

The extra step to verify an email address before sending out your email campaign will drastically improve deliverability and reduce email bounces and spam complaints. Better deliverability will lead to a better open and response rate as well.

How do I verify an email address without sending an email?


Well, you have a couple of different options for email verification.

The best and most recommended ways to verify an email address without sending an email are:

  • Email verifier tools: Use an email verification service to check if the given address is valid or not.
    Just google 'Email Verifier,' and many free and paid options will come up. The free option can work for you if you have a few emails to check and send emails. But if you are looking for verifying email addresses in bulk, you need to use a strong email verification tool like Clearout.
    Clearout provides various options to validate an email address without sending an email.

  • Email finder tools with built-in verification: If you're scaling email campaigns and don't want to risk facing bounces, opt for an email finder tool that will automatically find and verify any given email address.
    Clearout Email Finder is the perfect tool to find verified leads. Its strong email validator gives you pre-verified results, saving you from bounces and poor email campaign performance.

  • Email Databases: Then there are databases like ZoomInfo and Apollo.io that fetch and store details of individuals like the company they work in, email addresses, phone numbers, and more.

    But the issue with such platforms is that many email addresses obtained from here can be outdated, so sending emails to them can rocket your bounce rate. So, you would need an email verifier to validate the email address before sending out emails to them for better campaign results.

    Clearout even integrates with Apollo.io to help you ensure the data quality and get better deliverability results.
