What is delivery rate vs deliverability? A Plain-English Guide

Delivery rate only means the server accepted your mail; deliverability means it reached the inbox. A 99% delivery rate can still hide most of your mail sitting in spam.

Why it matters for deliverability

Understanding delivery rate vs deliverability is part of why the two are not the same. Get it right and more of your mail reaches the inbox; get it wrong and even legitimate mail can be filtered.
