How do I get a free sending mailbox?
You already have one. Every new Warmerly account gets a free mailbox, created for you at signup and already warming up. You will find it under Accounts with a Free gift badge. It costs nothing, does not use a mailbox slot on your plan, and needs no domain or DNS setup, because it lives on a domain Warmerly owns.
#What the free mailbox can do
- Warmup: always on. It started by itself at signup, and you cannot switch it off.
- Replies and tests. Use it to try Warmerly out, send yourself a test, and reply to mail that arrives in it.
- A small first campaign, when a place is free. After 14 days of active warmup (paused days do not count), and once your email address is verified, it can send a small first campaign: up to 3 emails a day, only to addresses Warmerly has verified, and never to role addresses such as info@ or sales@. If one of its campaign emails bounces, it pauses for 14 days. It lives on a shared domain, so we set these limits and you cannot change them. The shared domain has a fixed number of places for this, so a mailbox can be held until a place frees up, and its page says why. For more than that, connect your own mailbox or add a hosted OneMail mailbox (see below).
- One per person. Each user gets one free mailbox, ever.
#Steps to use it
- Verify your email address, if you have not already.
- Open Accounts and click the mailbox with the Free gift badge. The panel "This one's on us" shows what it can and cannot do.
- To run a campaign, create one from Campaigns > New campaign. A campaign launched before the 14 days are up waits and starts by itself. For normal volume, connect your own mailbox (Google, Microsoft or SMTP) or add a OneMail mailbox first. See How do I launch my first campaign?
#How long can I keep it?
As long as you are using Warmerly. It is only closed after 60 days with no activity from you, and you get two reminder emails first with a Keep my mailbox button. Signing in resets the clock. Once you connect your own mailbox or buy a OneMail mailbox, there is no countdown at all.
#Need more volume? Get a hosted OneMail mailbox
To send at normal volume, connect your own mailbox (Connecting a mailbox) or let Warmerly host one for you with OneMail. A hosted mailbox sends to verified addresses:
- Go to Accounts and click Add.
- Choose OneMail mailbox (we host it). Warmerly sets up the domain and DNS for you.
- Pick a route: Get a ready-warmed mailbox (already has 21+ days of warmup, when available), Add mailboxes to a domain you already have, Buy a new domain, or Connect a domain I own.
OneMail is billed per mailbox per month, and the price drops on bigger plans:
| Your plan | Price per OneMail mailbox |
|---|---|
| Free or Starter | $2.99/mo |
| Growth | $1.99/mo |
| Agency | $0.99/mo |
These are US dollar prices. In pounds the rates are £2.49, £1.49 and £0.79, and in euros €2.79, €1.79 and €0.89.
OneMail mailboxes never use your plan's mailbox limit. Ready-warmed mailboxes cost the same as any other OneMail mailbox. You can buy OneMail on the Free plan too; a card is needed.
#Common problems
My campaign will not send from the free mailbox. Check the limits above: it needs 14 days of warmup, a verified email address and a free place on the shared domain, and it only sends to verified addresses, up to 3 emails a day. Neither you nor support can lift those limits or unlock it early. For normal volume, connect your own mailbox or add a OneMail mailbox.
Can I pause warmup on it? No. Warmup is always on for the free mailbox.
Do I need a password for it? No. You are never asked for credentials. If it ever shows Reconnect, clicking it makes Warmerly issue a new mail password itself.
