Folderly works in a similar way to MailReach but it has significant differences that impact the efficiency of the warming and spam testing.
Folderly asks you to add your email to be able to perform an email deliverability test and then use what they call the spam fix and warm up.
First, Folderly’s deliverability test is performed on their end. It means that you enter your email content and Folderly sends the email on your behalf to their list of inboxes.
In concrete terms, by doing the deliverability test this way, the result given. by Folderly can be biased since the email may be sent in different conditions from the reality of sending real campaigns.
Folderly also offers a spam fix feature (email warming) designed to restore and maximize your email reputation and deliverability.
The spam fix / warming is done by Folderly by sending emails from your inbox, receiving replies, openings, having your emails marked as important and removed from spam.
Folderly does the warming with your own email templates (that you can set up). It can sound appealing, but it’s risky for several reasons.
First, it means that you always send the same email to thousands of recipients, which is not recommended.
Second, if your email template is spammy, even a bit (spam words, links, tracking domain, etc), it limits the efficiency of the warming activity done by Folderly.
Final word: Folderly may have positive results on your sending reputation and deliverability, but the cost, the risk to warm with your own templates and the partial reliability of the deliverability test makes Folderly not really cost effective.
At first sight, MailReach can look similar to Folderly but there are important differences on how MailReach manages your email deliverability and sending reputation.
MailReach uses your email address and domain to exchange emails with a network of more than 12 000 high reputation addresses (Folderly doesn’t disclose the number of inboxes they use).
The content of each warming email is optimized by MailReach: meaningful, human and reproducing a cold email activity that receives a lot of interested replies.
It makes sense to build trust with the big email providers which are able to understand and suggest smart replies (quick answers) to MailReach emails.
MailReach generates a lot of engagement on your email activity by opening the emails, marking them as important, removing from spam and categories and replying positively.
One of the main pros of MailReach is the smart, proprietary algorithm developed to constantly optimize the efficiency of the warming.
For example, if MailReach detects a spam spike in your warming activity, it makes you engage with the highest reputation domains in the network to fix your reputation as soon as possible.
Also, MailReach helps you test the deliverability of your own email campaigns with a reliable, non biased email spam checker tool unlike Folderly’s which is biased.
This unique spam testing feature helps you maximize the deliverability of your own campaigns by telling you precisely where your email lands on the important mailbox providers.
It gives you concrete insights on how to improve, what to do, to maximize your deliverability score.
