EVADDON will open in a separate box on your right. Under Verify Contacts you will see some steps written on it. Click on the word Template. It will create two columns in the spreadsheet.
Enter all the Emails you want to verify in the Email Column. Copy from the source list and just paste it.

Note that, for each Email Verified, one prepaid credit is used. When you sign up, you get 50 free credits. You can get free ones through promotions and you can also purchase as required.
One last important thing is, what do all these statuses mean which come in front of your Email. Well, one of the following four maybe the status attributed to the Email verified by EVADDON.
- Deliverable – The contact is correct and can be contacted safely.
- Deliverable (catch all server) – The contact does receive all the Emails sent to it but sending a lot of emails to it could register as spam.
- The mail server does not respond – It means that the Email address was ok at some point but currently it might be facing any issue like full inbox folders, server temporarily off or changed settings by domain owner.
- Not Deliverable – The address is not correct and cannot be reached.
This is how easy it is to use this email verification add-on to clear your email database of fake and wrong emails.
