❓ FAQ

Q: How many emails can I verify at once?
A: There is no hard limit — you can verify hundreds or thousands of emails in a single run. The Actor processes them concurrently for speed.

Q: Does it work without login or cookies?
A: Yes! No login, API keys, or cookies required. Just provide your email list and run.

Q: What does "catch-all" mean?
A: A catch-all domain accepts all incoming emails regardless of whether the specific mailbox exists. These are marked separately so you can decide whether to send to them.

Q: What's the difference between email_status: invalid and mailbox_status: valid?
A: The domain and mail server may be valid, but the specific mailbox (username) doesn't exist — meaning the email will still bounce.

Q: Can I use this for real-time validation on web forms?
A: Yes! Use the Apify API to call this Actor in real-time and validate emails as users submit forms.

Q: How accurate is the verification?
A: The Actor uses SMTP probing and MX record checks for high accuracy. However, some mail servers use "greylisting" which can affect results — the Actor includes retry logic to handle this.

Q: Will verifying emails affect my sender reputation?
A: No. The verification process uses SMTP probing techniques that do not send actual emails to the addresses being checked.

Q: How is this different from free email validators?
A: Free tools typically only check syntax or DNS. This Actor goes further with actual SMTP mailbox probing, catch-all detection, and mailbox type classification — giving you much more reliable results.

Q: Can I export results to CSV or Excel?
A: Yes! Apify datasets support export to JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, and more directly from the dataset page.

Q: Is this Actor suitable for GDPR-compliant workflows?
A: The Actor only checks the technical deliverability of email addresses — it does not store or share any personal data beyond what you input.
