Spam Rescue & Inbox Placement

Spam Rescue is one of WarmySender's most powerful features for building your sender reputation. It works automatically to ensure warmup emails always end up in your inbox — even when email providers initially route them to spam.

How Spam Rescue Works
During regular IMAP scans, WarmySender checks both your inbox and your spam/junk folders. When a warmup email is found in spam, the system identifies it using internal tracking tokens and automatically moves it back to your inbox.

Why This Matters
Every time a message is moved from spam to inbox, it sends a strong signal to your email provider (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, and others) that emails from that sender are legitimate and wanted. Over time, these signals train the provider's spam filters to trust your domain, improving your overall inbox placement rate.

Automatic and Hands-Free
Spam rescue happens entirely in the background — you do not need to manually check your spam folder or move any emails. The system handles detection and rescue automatically during each scan cycle.

Impact on Your Health Score
Your inbox placement rate — including emails successfully rescued from spam — contributes directly to your mailbox health score. A high rescue success rate helps maintain a strong score, while emails that remain undetected in spam would lower it.

Works Across All Providers
Spam rescue is compatible with all connected email providers, including:
• Gmail and Google Workspace
• Outlook and Microsoft 365
• Yahoo Mail
• Any custom IMAP-compatible email service

The system adapts to each provider's folder structure and naming conventions (Spam, Junk, Bulk Mail, etc.) to ensure comprehensive coverage.

No Configuration Required
Spam rescue is enabled by default for all mailboxes with warmup active. Simply connect your mailbox, enable warmup, and the system takes care of the rest.
