How to filter and hide MailReach emails in your inbox [Gmail / Office 365]

If you send campaigns from secondary mailboxes and redirect the replies to your customers' (or sales reps), we have a dedicated guide to help you prevent warming emails to be forwarded to their inbox (Gmail).


TL;DR

  • By default, MailReach's warming emails are hidden from your mailbox and stored in a folder named "To Follow", but it can't be 100% reliable (that's normal) and it can take some time.
  • In this guide, you'll be guided to set up a filter to hide the emails and redirect them without any delay and with more reliability.
  • It should take you 3 minutes.


Step 1 : copy your filter code


  1. In your MailReach account, in the Top Bar, click on Email Warmer
  2. Find the mailbox you'd like to set up the filter and click on Show
  3. Click on your Filter Code to copy it




Step 2 : create the filter to hide the emails and redirect them
