Threads

Concurrent connections for checking. Up to 2,000 with a Mail subscription.

Higher threads = faster checking, but more proxy bandwidth and a higher chance of triggering rate limits on some providers. Start at 50–100 and increase gradually.

Timeout

Connection timeout per check. Default: 30 seconds. Increase for slow networks.

Retries

Retry attempts for transient errors. Default: 2.

Only transient errors are retried: connection failures, timeouts, proxy errors, TLS errors. Permanent results (invalid login, 2FA, locked) are never retried.

Protocols

ProtocolPlanNotes
IMAPAllPrimary protocol for most providers
POP3AllFallback when IMAP unavailable
SMTPAllValidates sending capability
OutlookProMicrosoft domains (hotmail, outlook, live, msn)
ABVProabv.bg, gbg.bg, gyuvetch.bg
GMXProgmx.com, gmx.net, gmx.de, web.de

Microsoft domains are automatically routed to Outlook when enabled. If Outlook is disabled, they fall back to IMAP.

Proxies

Load proxy lists from the Results tab. Types: HTTP CONNECT, SOCKS4, SOCKS5 — all available on all plans.

Each thread uses one proxy connection. Aim for at least as many proxies as threads (2–3x is ideal). Krantz Mail rotates through the list and skips failed proxies temporarily.

Search

Add search queries to run automatically on successful validations. Types: Body, Subject, From, To. Results are saved alongside the output.

Presets

Save and load named settings configurations. Presets are synced to your account and available across devices.
