#### **Will my Inbox be full of Warmy emails?**

Warmy is an email warmup service that helps improve email deliverability by generating email activity between you and other Warmy users. This means you will receive emails from other Warmy users as part of the warmup process.

#### **Automatic archiving**

Incoming emails are automatically archived after 20 minutes and won't clutter up your mailboxes.  This means you won't see them in your inbox after that time.  
You should not redirect, delete or otherwise combine with warm-up emails yourself, as this may violate the algorithms for simulating real correspondence. Receiving emails is a very important part of a good warm-up and gaining your reputation as a sender.

**How does it work?**

1. A message has landed in your inbox
2. It will be there for 20 min approximately
3. We will archive it
4. If the message is a part of a thread, the thread will be in the inbox until the thread finishes, and then we will archive it.

Please make sure that you are not using the word "Warmy" in your filters because it can ruin the warm-up process.

### How to identify your warm-up emails

Before you can filter warm-up messages, you need a way to tell them apart from your real correspondence. The simplest way to do this is through the **"Send from" name** on your mailbox in Warmy.

Set a distinct sender name that only your warm-up emails will use — for example, your own name with a small marker added to it, or a completely separate made-up name. Whatever you choose, it should be something that never appears in your genuine business correspondence.

**How to set it:**

1. Open your account and go to the **Mailboxes** section
2. Select the mailbox you want to configure by clicking its email address
3. On the mailbox Dashboard, click **Settings** in the top right corner — the gear icon next to *Reconnect*
4. In the window that opens, find the **"Send from" name** field — it's the first field below the temperature gauge
5. Enter your chosen name and click **Save**

From that point on, every warm-up email sent from that mailbox will carry that sender name — and you can build a filter around it in your email client.

⚠️ **Do not use the word "Warmy" or "Warm up"** in the sender name or anywhere in your filter rules. Filtering on "Warmy" can interfere with the warm-up algorithm and reduce its effectiveness.
