Just sit and relax, warmup stats will start showing up from next day. Mystrika maintains the Warmup Stats for last 7 days.
Note : Mystrika automatically cleans up the warmup emails (including sent emails), and you can find them in a special folder / label.
The name of the folder / label can be found by going to "Home" > click "four dots" > Warmup Config > Copy "Email Code/Identifier".
If you aren't able to connect your email address
-
Check if you have IMAP enabled, as per process above.
-
Confirm if you are using "App Password", and not your login password.

Use an Email Client (like thunderbird) and check if your email settings/credentials are actually working, before reaching to Mystrika Support.
