Warm-up schedule planner
A day-by-day ramp from a starting volume to a target, at whatever daily growth rate you choose to plan around.
Free, no accountIn your browser
Total across the pool on day one - a new mailbox, or several, starting from nothing.
What the pool should be sending once it is fully warmed up.
Used only to split each day’s total into a per-mailbox figure alongside it.
Your own ramp rate, not a published one - no source states an official warm-up curve.
Result
Enter a starting volume to build a day-by-day ramp
This planner has nothing to grow yet: a starting daily volume to ramp up from.
What this is
This warm-up schedule planner turns a starting volume, a target volume and a daily growth rate into a day-by-day ramp - compounding that rate once a day until the target is reached, or until the table reaches a length no longer worth planning around. The growth rate is typed in rather than assumed, because no source publishes an official one.
A new mailbox, or a pool of them, cannot send its eventual target volume on day one without most of that mail landing in spam: mailbox providers watch early sending behaviour closely, and a sudden jump in volume from an inbox with no history reads as exactly what a spammer’s setup looks like.
Warming up is the practice of raising volume gradually instead, so the provider sees a sending pattern grow alongside engagement rather than appear from nothing. How gradually is the part nobody official has written down - this tool makes that choice explicit rather than hiding a guess inside the arithmetic.
How to read the result
Day one sends the starting volume. Each day after compounds the daily increase percentage onto the day before, rounded to a whole message, until the total reaches the target - day two is day one times one plus the percentage, day three is day two times the same, and so on.
The per-mailbox column is the same day’s total divided by the mailbox count, so a pool of several mailboxes can read its own day-by-day figure alongside the combined one without doing that division by hand.
Common mistakes
What goes wrong most often, and how to tell.
- Treating the daily increase as something Google or Yahoo setNeither publishes a warm-up curve. The percentage here is a planning choice, and a schedule built on a borrowed number from a blog post is no more official for having a table under it.
- Assuming the schedule holds through a bad weekA real ramp is driven by engagement, not by a calendar: a spike in bounces or spam complaints partway through should pause the climb, not be overridden by "the schedule says day 12 is 400 today."
- Warming up the mailboxes but not the domain underneath themA domain with no sending history of its own carries a reputation risk a warmed-up mailbox cannot fix on its own - a brand-new domain behind several "warmed" mailboxes is still a brand-new domain as far as a receiving provider is concerned.
Questions
What people ask about this tool.
- There is no official rate to follow - neither Google nor Yahoo publishes one. A smaller daily increase takes longer but is gentler on a new mailbox’s reputation; this planner lets you try a few percentages and compare the days-to-target each one produces before committing to one.
- Because there is no standard one to use. Presenting a borrowed figure as the rate would make a guess look like a documented rule, which is exactly the thing the catalogue of tools this one belongs to tries not to do.
- The schedule is capped at 60 days rather than running on indefinitely, and the result says plainly that the target was not reached within that length - a nudge to raise the rate or lower the target rather than plan around a schedule that long.
- No - this is arithmetic on the numbers typed in, not a signal from any mailbox provider that the ramp went well. Bounce rate, spam complaints and reply rate are the real evidence of a successful warm-up, and none of them reach this planner.
