Question 1

What does email validation check?

Accepted Answer

This tool checks the email format (syntax), whether the domain exists, whether the domain has mail servers (MX records), whether it is a disposable or temporary email service, whether it is a role-based address like info@ or support@, and which email provider it uses. It does not send a test email.

Question 2

Can you verify Gmail or Outlook addresses?

Accepted Answer

Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, and other major providers restrict mailbox-level verification. We can confirm the format and domain are valid, but cannot confirm whether a specific inbox exists on these providers. Results for these will show as Unverifiable with a clear explanation.

Question 3

What is a disposable email?

Accepted Answer

A disposable email is a temporary address from services like Mailinator or Guerrilla Mail. These addresses are created to avoid follow-ups and often expire quickly. They are technically deliverable but usually indicate a low-quality contact.

Question 4

Why is an email marked risky?

Accepted Answer

An email is marked Risky when some checks pass but others are ambiguous. This can happen when the domain looks like a typo, the provider has catch-all behavior, or verification signals are mixed. It means the email might work but you should not rely on it without confirmation.

Question 5

What is a role-based email?

Accepted Answer

A role-based email goes to a shared inbox rather than a specific person. Examples include info@, support@, admin@, and sales@. These addresses are often valid but less effective for personal outreach because they are read by a team, not an individual.
