How to Verify Email

You can verify an address in seconds and a list of thousands in minutes. This is the process.

Verify a single address

  1. Open the Mailbite home page or your dashboard.
  2. Type the address and press Verify.
  3. Read the result: format, address type, server status and final email status.

Verify a list

  1. Prepare a CSV or TXT file with one address per row. Extra columns are fine; the first column is read.
  2. Upload the file from the bulk verification page.
  3. Watch the results build in real time.
  4. Download the cleaned file when processing ends.

How to read results

  • Valid: safe to send.
  • Invalid: the mailbox or domain does not exist; remove it.
  • Risky or accept-all: the server accepts everything, so the mailbox cannot be confirmed; send carefully or segment these addresses.
  • Disposable: a throwaway inbox; usually not worth keeping.

After verifying

Remove invalid addresses, review risky ones, and keep the verified file as your master list. Download results within 14 days, because files are archived after that.
