The ability of emails to reach the inbox rather than spam or being blocked, driven by authentication, reputation and engagement.

Short answer

Email deliverability is the ability of sent emails to reach recipients' inboxes rather than being filtered into spam or blocked entirely. It depends on sender authentication such as SPF, DKIM and DMARC, on sender reputation, list hygiene, complaint rates and recipient engagement. Poor deliverability quietly reduces the reach and revenue of every email program.
