How it works
A steady ramp, week by week
Warmup keeps running alongside cold email in every week of the plan.
- 01
Warm up first
New mailboxes send only warmup emails for the first weeks. ZicReach warms a mailbox in about 21 days, so the default is 3 weeks.
- 02
Ramp each mailbox
Each mailbox then starts at about 5 cold emails a day and adds 5 a week until it reaches 20, the most ZicReach recommends per mailbox. You can change each number.
- 03
Up to your target
The daily total is each mailbox's number times your mailboxes, capped at your target. If the mailboxes cannot reach it, you see how many you need.
- 04

FAQ
Questions, answered
Short answers about the warmup schedule planner.
How long should I warm up a new mailbox?
ZicReach warms a new mailbox in about 21 days, which is why the plan starts with 3 weeks of warmup only. Keep warmup on after that; in ZicReach it is free and keeps running alongside your campaigns.
Why stop at 20 emails a day per mailbox?
Sending a small number of cold emails from each mailbox keeps the pattern close to a person writing, which protects your sender reputation. ZicReach recommends at most 20 a day per mailbox; add mailboxes to send more.
How many mailboxes do I need?
Your daily target divided by the emails a day per mailbox, rounded up. For 200 cold emails a day at 20 each, that is 10 mailboxes. The email infrastructure cost calculator adds the domains and the cost.
Can I ramp faster?
You can raise the weekly step, but a sudden jump in volume from a new mailbox is a common reason for landing in spam. A steady ramp, and pausing when a mailbox's health drops, is safer.
