How do open, click, and reply behaviors influence inboxing?
Engagement behaviors directly train mailbox provider algorithms:
Opens: Opening a message signals interest. Consistent opens from a sender builds positive reputation.
Clicks: Clicking links shows deeper engagement. Strong positive signal.
Replies: Replying is the strongest positive signal. It demonstrates real conversation value.
These signals aggregate across your recipient base. High engagement rates tell providers your mail is wanted. Low engagement suggests the opposite.
At the user level, individual engagement history shapes personal placement decisions.
Every interaction votes on whether your future messages deserve inbox or spam.
