1. 00:00Why there is no status column

   A GetProspect export has no email status column. Here's why, and when a second check still makes sense. That line comes from GetProspect's help center. If an address didn't pass, you don't receive it. So there's no verdict to read in your file. Accept-all addresses stay out as well. That's GetProspect's name for catch-all. If it can't confirm one, you don't get it, and you aren't charged. Three words carry the weight here. When last checked. Emails get re-verified regularly, and the person panel shows that date when you hover the icon.

2. 00:35When to check again

   Its guidance is honest about this. You usually don't need to verify these emails again. So a fresh export is ready to use. But it also says an old list deserves another look, because people change jobs. That gives you a simple test. Fresh and unmixed, skip it. Recheck when the list has aged, when addresses came from another tool, or when you've combined files. One small sign to watch. An older saved address can show a warning mark, which means accept-all or invalid. Check it before you send.

3. 01:05Export the list

   To export, open Lists, and click the Export icon on the row. Pick all contacts, or contacts with valid email. Tick your columns, choose CSV, and read the cost line. Every file also stays on the Exports page. GetProspect's own Email verifier charges its own credits, so we won't use it. The export is your working copy. We'll do this step in BillionVerify, a third-party verifier.

4. 01:29Verify the CSV

   Bring the CSV into File List Verify. Before anything runs, you get the unique address count and the credits it can use. Two export columns earn their place now. Person saved at shows how old a row is. GetProspect Person ID gives you a key for matching results back. Both stay in your download, right beside our status. An aged list can return catch-all here. GetProspect warns about those addresses, because a real send may still come back as not existing. Its advice is small batches, and removing whatever bounces. The remaining results are easy to place. Valid carries on as planned. Role gets wording for a shared inbox. Unknown stays out of big sends until reviewed. Invalid and disposable get suppressed, so they never come back in.

5. 02:13What it costs

   Each result here is one credit, even catch-all and role. Unknown, bad syntax and disposable are on us. Files need a paid account, and buying any credits gives you that.
