Mailboxes are dedicated email accounts affiliated to your company domain that power outbound sales in Reevo. They act as the sending engine for your sequences, maintaining individual sender reputations to ensure high deliverability while Reevo handles the technical setup. Properly configured mailboxes are essential for running automated campaigns, tracking engagement metrics, and utilizing the platform’s optimization features. What mailboxes actually do for your business:
  • Professional Branding: Route all outbound campaign emails through your affiliated domain instead of personal addresses
  • Build Sender Reputation: Automatic warmup and health monitoring to reduce the probability spam filters
  • Campaign Automation: Powering multi-step email sequences with tracking and analytics
  • Centralized Control: Managing all outbound communication from one platform
The separation between outbound mailboxes (for cold outreach) and your primary email accounts (for business communications) is a best practice that protects your organization’s email reputation while enabling scalable prospecting efforts.

2. Understand Mailbox Types

  • Managed: Mailboxes purchased through the platform with full health monitoring
  • Connected:  Mailboxes that link existing external email accounts (like Gmail)
Connected and Managed mailboxes serve different purposes across Reevo’s platform. While both types can send emails, their use cases vary based on deliverability needs, workflow requirements, and platform features. Understanding these differences helps you choose the right mailbox type for each business scenario. Below are the main benefits by mailbox type:

Managed (Recommended)

✅ Designed for high-volume sequence campaigns with automatic warmup✅ Include health monitoring and deliverability optimization✅ Support configurable sending quotas and rotation✅ Support bulk email verification and enrichment✅ Focus on outreach rather than meeting coordination❌ Not used for calendar integration

Connected

✅  Calendar sync and meeting scheduling✅  Send meeting invitations from your professional email✅  Best for low-volume, personalized sequence outreach✅  Maintain your existing email provider relationship❌ No health monitoring❌ Limited by provider rate limits
Your choice impacts email deliverability, tracking capabilities, and platform integration across sequences, prospecting, and meeting workflows.

Troubleshooting / FAQs 

An associated domain is needed for mailboxes to function properly. Domains provide the foundation for email authentication and deliverability. Without a verified domain, Reevo-managed mailboxes cannot be created for outbound campaigns.
Yes, existing external email accounts can be connected through the mailbox import flow. Connected mailboxes show “Unavailable” health status since Reevo cannot monitor external account health, but they can be used in sequences.
Yes, settings like signatures and sending preferences can be edited by mailbox owners and admins. However, core settings like the email address and domain cannot be changed after creation.
New mailboxes and domains need to build reputation gradually because email service providers treat them with suspicion by default. The recommended approach:
  • Starting with very small volumes (tens, not hundreds)
  • Ramping up gradually over several weeks
  • Avoiding sudden jumps in sending volume
  • Keeping target volumes low even after successful ramp-up
