See where each tested copy arrives.

A message can reach Gmail Promotions and Outlook spam in the same test. MailSlurp keeps those results separate so you can see which provider needs attention before the campaign goes out.

Review the result for each seed account alongside content and domain findings. Change the relevant sender or message setting, then rerun the same test to compare the outcome.

Comparing inbox placement tools

Can I use MailSlurp as a GlockApps alternative?

Yes. MailSlurp combines provider inbox placement tests with scheduled checks, API automation, device previews and delivered-email audits. Start with the sender and message you want to evaluate, then review where each copy arrived in the test accounts. Explore inbox placement testing.

Does receiving a test email prove inbox placement?

An accepted send confirms that a server accepted the message. Receipt in a MailSlurp test inbox confirms that the message arrived there. Provider placement separately records the folder or tab observed in real seed accounts, including inbox, Promotions, spam or junk. A missing result needs investigation; it is not an inbox pass.

Can I keep my current email service provider?

Yes. Send through the ESP, domain and template you already use. For a manual campaign test, create a MailSlurp run, copy its current seed addresses and tracking marker, and send only to that controlled test audience. For recurring checks, use a supported sending connection or the API workflow. Read the placement setup guide.

Does a good spam score guarantee inbox delivery?

Spam scores identify message risks; provider placement records what happened to each tested copy. Review both. Gmail Promotions is a delivered category, separate from spam. Seed results describe those accounts and that send, so compare equivalent runs rather than treating one result as a guarantee for every subscriber.

Can I automate the test and share its result?

Yes. Use the dashboard for scheduled checks, or use the API to create a test, retrieve its seed addresses and marker, send through your provider, and read the provider results. Keep the report with your campaign review or automated test. MailSlurp supports report exports and share links for team review. See the automation workflow.
