hi i have a little problem here.
i searched on google for this but nothing gud is available.
i had a application with more than 2000 ids.
i just want to find out whether those ids are registered in Hotmail or not. If possible i want to use the Hotmail api to check the availability of the id in hotmail.
Thanks
Hotmail (or any other email provider) will not give you this facility, because it will open the main doors for spammers. They can validate the id and then enjoy.

I need to setup a sender identity on sendgrip.com but before i create them, is say the ".gmail" extension is not recommended.
I learn is because the DMARC and i understand, but is say gmail, outlook, yahoo, aol and a lot other none write have a DMARC.
So my question what i need to use ?? Or best question what is the best extension in this case ?
(https://sendgrid.com/docs/ui/sending-email/dmarc/)
Thanks a lot for you help !
As stated in How DMARC Applies to a Sender Identity, email service providers like Sendgrid assume that you have your own registered domain such as raphaelr.com and that you have access to the DNS records for that domain.
You can then setup Domain Authentication by creating the appropriate CNAME DNS records:

I did a lot of research through internet but I didn't found the solution. I'm trying to send a confirmation email using Mail::send() in laravel 5.1, I don't want to use any third party like mailgun or mandrill because they are not free sometimes limited of usage. The problem with this is all of the confirmation of the users is in their spam folder in gmail, and trash folder in outlook. Sometimes they didn't receive the confirmation. Why is that? Do you have any idea with this? My website is also registered to https so I don't think this is the problem.
.env
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=mail.mywebsite.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=email#mywebsite.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=mypassword
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
Landing of an email into Spam is nothing to do with Laravel.
Either you have to change the TXT record of your domain.
You can check it on mail-tester which values need to be changed.

You might wanna try testing at Mail Tester. This can reveal a lot of information on why your emails are ending up in spam. I also recommend checking SPF and DKIM checking at SPF & DKIM checking at the same site.
Also are you hosting your emails with your hosting provider or some other third-parties like GSuite or Microsoft Exchange? These providers can influence the mail quality and spam checking greatly.
The spam classification of emails is to the discretion of the receiving mail server. There are a couple of best pratices to follow, when trying to avoid being marked as spam:
Make sure the sending server (smtp server) is allowed through
SPF
DKIM
DMARC
MX records
Further, the recipient server may check for bulk content with decentralized solutions like razor, pyzor or DCC. So, try to personalize the messages and not send bulk content. Its hard to evaluate your situation without specifics. Another problem may be the sending webserver if its in or from a country with "bad reputation" (like Russia, China). Since mail server also check the Original-IP of the email and potentially flag them as well.
SPF:

DKIM:

DMARC:

To check your settings, it helps to use mail testing solutions visualizing those mentioned factors as mentioned by other answers.
Current email deliverability professional here. If you are willing to share the domain you are sending from, and the IP address initiating the sends I'm happy to check for any obvious problems.
I also heartily recommend mail-tester.com as I use it almost daily. If you want to share the link to the report I'm happy to help interpret.
The other thing to be aware of is, that IP addresses have a sender reputation that is tracked in the Email ecosystem at large. If it's a new sending IP address it has to get warmed up. Just like you cannot get a credit card with no limit as soon as you turn 21, Inbox Providers like Gmail and Hotmail are not just going to deliver everything a new sending IP starts trying to deliver to their recipients. They will essentially do some A/B testing by delivering some to the Inbox and some to the Spam/Promotions folder, and see how their recipients interact with your mailings. Gmail and thus other inbox providers are primarily concerned with how recipients interact with your mailings. Do they open, do they click links, do they add you to safe senders, etc.

I'm developing web application which is similar to address-book,
now I want to create a page with list of user contacts. I already have user email and show out_of_office badge using GetUserOOFSettrings API method.
Does the API for getting user's (favorite) contacts list exists?
E.g. to get MS Lync contacts which user have, or outlook contacts...
Does some better way for implementation of current feature exists?
Thanks
Have a look at https://msdn.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/office/jj190895(v=exchg.150).aspx. Contacts are just items in the user's mailbox. You might also download EWSEditor to poke around and see what's available.
I have a little under 7000 newsletter subscribers. I run an online shop and would like to send out daily newsletters for my Deal Of The Day. This is currently impossible as it takes at least an entire day for my newsletter to get to all of its subscribers. Please advise
Please use some email marketing solution to send emails.
Choose from list below:
1. Mailchimp (easiest of all)
2. Netcore (provides full solution)
3. Icubes
4. Sendy.co (cheapest of all)
Using these you will also be able to track your email response like opens, clicks etc.
You can hack Magento to send more emails; however, your web hosting provider will probably pull your plug unless they specifically allow mass Commercial Email.
You will be black listed as a spammer if you don't understand how to set up domain keys, SPF and a series of other items. One of the biggies is that you shouldn't be using port 25 unencrypted traffic without authentication. Any bypassing of this changes your bulk email output to UCE (Unsolicited Commercial Email) in their books. The other biggie is not having an unsubscribe method present in every email sent.
If you have the technical capacity to be running your own web server (not have to use a hosting provider) then Amazon's SMS is probably a good choice if you have Ashley Shroeder's SMTP module installed.
If you don't have the technical capability, then using an ESP (eMail Service Provider) like MailChimp is a far better way. They take care of a lot of the technical detail with bounces, email list management, unsubscribe, etc. to help prevent you from being blacklisted as a UCE source.
We are looking to build a new website that is specifically for commercial/business use. We need to only allow 'business' email addresses register. So users with Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo etc cannot apply with those email addresses.
Is there a way to do this, other than creating a blacklist of domains such as gmail.com, hotmail.com etc? It will be an international site - so it will be impossible to blacklist all of the public email providers.
Thanks
Ian
As others have stated, it doesn't really make much sense to try to detect a business customer based on his email domain, but if you really wanna go down that road, blacklisting is your best bet. The spamassassin freemail plugin provides a good default blacklist:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/spamassassin/trunk/rules/20_freemail_domains.cf
Small businesses are having #gmail.com addresses (and some people are not able to configure their gmail to redirect emitting email address to something else).
Some big businesses may have internal policies disallowing such subscriptions with the company email, so some people there would also use a #gmail.com address for that.
So I would not filter out such email addresses.
Private individuals occasionally run their own email servers as well. Consider:
a) Person (A) registers a domain from a registrar like gandi.net, and signs up for their email service and hosted blog.
b) Company (B) registers a domain from the same registrar and signs up for their email service.
There is no way for you to differentiate, technically, between these two. They will even share the same mail server [which can serve multiple domains].
There are some online services which do provide these services (Email Verifications).
Take a look here:
