Getting Started

The Email Verifier lives right in your TrekMail dashboard. This guide walks you through your first verification — from finding the tool to downloading clean results.

Before you begin

You need a verified email address on your TrekMail account before you can use the verifier. If you haven't confirmed your email yet, check your inbox for the verification link.

Where to find it

1. Log in to your TrekMail dashboard.
2. In the left sidebar, click Email Verifier.
3. You'll land on the verifier wizard at Step 1 (Prepare), with your credit balance visible and your verification history in a table below.

Free credits on every plan

Every TrekMail plan comes with monthly verification credits — no purchase required.

Monthly credits reset on your billing date. Need more? You can purchase additional credits at any time — purchased credits never expire.

Choose your verification mode

In Step 1 (Prepare) of the wizard, select a mode:

• Quick (default) — 22 checks using DNS and pattern analysis. 1 credit per email. Best for routine list hygiene and re-verification.
• Deep — all 25 checks including SMTP mailbox verification and spam trap detection. 2 credits per email. Best for purchased lists, important campaigns, or leads from unknown sources.

The mode selector is at the top of Step 1 — you see the Quick vs Deep choice before entering any emails. Each mode card has a "See all checks" expandable link to review what is included. You can also pass the mode parameter in the API.

The 3-step wizard

The verifier uses a step-by-step wizard with a step indicator at the top: Prepare → Verify → Results.

Step 1: Prepare

Choose Quick or Deep mode, then paste or upload your emails:

• Paste text — copy-paste any block of text (email thread, spreadsheet column, contact dump). We automatically extract every email address. You can paste even a single email address.
• Upload a file — drag and drop a CSV, XLSX, or TXT file. We auto-detect the email column.

After entering your emails, a "What will happen" summary box shows the email count, duplicates removed, selected mode, and exact credit cost. Review and click Start Verification.

Step 2: Verify

Step 2 shows full-screen processing with live progress bars, mini stats (safe, valid, invalid counts), and the verification mode. You can navigate away — the job runs in the background.

Step 3: Results

Results appear automatically when verification completes. The results step includes a filterable table, detailed check breakdowns, and export options. The URL updates to ?job=X so refreshing the page preserves your selected job.

To start another verification, click New Verification to return to Step 1. Your verification history is always visible in the table below the wizard.

How extraction works

No matter which input method you choose, our extraction engine scans the input for anything that looks like an email address. You'll see a preview showing:

• How many emails were found
• How many duplicates were removed
• The total credit cost before you confirm

This means you can paste a messy paragraph, a raw CSV, or even an entire webpage — we'll pull out the addresses for you.

Understanding your results

Every verified email gets a trust score from 0 to 100. We group them into four categories:

For a full breakdown of every check we run, see the Email Verifier Overview.

Downloading results

Once verification is complete:

1. Click the Download button on your job.
2. Choose a filter: All results, Safe only, or Safe + Risky.
3. A CSV file will download with each email, its score, and the status label.

You can come back and download results for up to 15 days after the job completes.
