# How can I minimize bounces?

> Settings and habits that keep your bounce rate low and your sender reputation healthy.

## Email strict mode

Strict mode only sends emails to contacts with verified email addresses. This helps reduce bounce rates and maintain a healthy sender reputation, but reduces email data coverage.

To turn on strict mode, open your [mailbox settings](https://app.juicebox.ai/account?tab=mailbox-settings).

## Email preference

When adding profiles into a sequence, using **only personal** emails can also help reduce bounce rates.

<Tip>
  Sending to personal inboxes also boosts reply rates — see [Optimizing Response Rates](/maximize-replies).

## Limiting maximum emails per day

Ensure your domain is healthy by limiting the maximum number of emails sent daily, including new sequences and follow-up emails from historic sequences.

To edit the max emails per day, click on the pencil icon and save changes. For recommended daily limits, see [Email deliverability](/email-deliverability).

## For unusually high bounce rates

* Check your email domain health.
* Re-connect your mailbox from the [Integrations page](/email-integrations).
