Verify email addresses before you send

Check addresses with Hunter so bounces don't hurt your inbox.

Updated 20 October 2026

Every bounce counts against your inbox. Verifying a list before launch is the cheapest way to protect it. Verification uses your connected Hunter account and its credits.

  1. Connect Hunter first (Integrations → Hunter → Connect).
  2. Open Leads, tick the leads to check and click Verify emails. Confirm; each check may use a Hunter credit depending on your Hunter plan.
  3. Outly checks them in small batches and shows progress. To check one lead, use Verify email in its row menu, or Verify Email on the lead's page.

What the results mean

Valid: the mailbox exists. Invalid: it doesn't; Outly leaves it out when a campaign launches. Risky and Accept-all: the server accepts any address, so the mailbox may not be real; send to these sparingly. Unknown: the check couldn't decide. Unverified: never checked.

Tip

On the lead's page, Find Email asks Hunter for the work email of someone you have a name and company domain for.
