1. 00:00How Mailmeteor protects you

   Mailmeteor only emails the rows you can see in your Google Sheet. Here's how to turn that into a verified send. Mailmeteor has its own verifier, BounceShield, and it works two ways. On a paid plan, it checks every send, and an invalid address isn't emailed. For all users, there's a bulk checker. A caught address shows as failed in your dashboard. If you want it off, the setting is on the Billing page. Its feature page lists four results. Risky means it may accept mail, but could bounce. Those results live in Mailmeteor. Your send lives in a spreadsheet. And the send comes from your own Gmail account. Its sending guide is blunt about a dirty list. So check the list before the add-on opens. Download a CSV, verify it, and put the results back.

2. 00:47Verify the list

   Each upload to File List Verify is kept in History, under Files. A long list keeps going without you, and slower mail servers get retried. Results fill in as they finish, and you get an email at the end. Keep the filter on All, and export the whole file.

3. 01:01Filter the Sheet

   Back in Sheets, each row has a status. Extra columns are fine. Mailmeteor says you can add as many as you want, as long as headers sit on the first row. Now a plain Google Sheets filter does the work. Select the first row, then Data, Create a filter. On the status column, filter by values, and untick everything except valid. This line is why it works. Nothing gets deleted. Bad rows stay in the file, out of view, and no email goes to them.

4. 01:28Send and reuse

   Open it from Extensions, Mailmeteor. Write your email, then use Preview emails before you send. After a send, you'll have a Merge status column. Filter it to blank cells, and only people you haven't contacted are left. Catch-all is a second pass. Those domains accept any address, so nobody can promise the mailbox exists. Switch the filter to catch-all, and send a smaller batch. Each campaign adds its own Merge status column. Google sets a ceiling too. Mailmeteor's quota page lists 500 emails per 24 hours for a Gmail address, and 2,000 for Google Workspace. If the account is new, or quiet lately, it suggests starting small, with 20 to 50 recipients. Opt-outs take care of themselves. Anyone who unsubscribes joins your unsubscribers list, and Mailmeteor won't send to them in future campaigns or follow-ups.

5. 02:19What it costs

   Our side is simple. One credit per valid, invalid, catch-all or role result. Nothing for unknown, bad syntax or disposable. Uploading a file takes a paid account, which any credit purchase gives you.
