Mastering Email Limits: Your Guide to Outreach Success!

 

Welcome to the wild world of email outreach! If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably felt a little lost in the jungle of sending limits and best practices. But fear not! I’ve been

there, and I’m here to share some golden nuggets of wisdom that will help you navigate this tricky terrain with confidence. 

Why Should You Care About Email Sending Limits?

Think of email sending limits as the “traffic rules” of your outreach journey. If you speed (or send too many emails), you risk getting pulled over—or worse, having your account blocked. Knowing these limits not only keeps you safe but also helps your email outreach hit the mark.

Pro Tip: Quality Over Quantity!
It’s tempting to send out as many emails as possible, but trust me: personalized messages are where the magic happens. A well-crafted email can get you far more responses than a hundred generic ones.

Email Sending Limits by Provider: The Breakdown

Here’s a handy guide to the sending limits for major email providers, so you can tailor your email outreach strategy accordingly:

  1. Gmail
    • Daily Limit: 500 emails (if sent through the web) and 100 via SMTP.
    • Hourly Tip: Aim for about 20 emails per hour to stay safe.
    • Fun Fact: Using a custom domain makes you look more professional—bye-bye, “name267@gmail.com”!
  2. Google Workspace
    • Daily Limit: 2,000 emails (500 during the trial).
    • Hourly Limit: No strict limit, but it’s best to pace yourself.
    • Pro Tip: Watch out for spammy words! Avoid phrases like “urgent” to keep your email outreach flowing smoothly.
  3. Office 365
    • Daily Limit: 10,000 recipients.
    • Per Minute: 30 emails max.
    • Insight: Vary your sending times to avoid looking suspicious. I learned this the hard way when I got flagged for sending at the same hour every day!
  4. Outlook.com
    • Daily Limit: 300 emails for verified accounts.
    • Reputation Boost: Use your account regularly to maintain higher limits. It can feel like starting over if you let it sit idle for too long.
  5. Yahoo Mail Plus
    • Daily Limit: 500 emails.
    • Recipient Max: 100 per email.
    • Reminder: Don’t go all-out at once; pace your email outreach for better results.
  6. GoDaddy Workspace
    • Daily Limit: 250 recipients (up to 500 for a fee).
    • Hourly Limit: 300 emails.
    • Strategy: Spread your outreach out—think of it like a well-cooked meal!
  7. Rackspace
    • Daily Limit: 10,000 recipients.
    • Key Tip: High-quality emails are essential. If your messages are flagged as spam, you could get blocked much sooner than hitting that limit.
  8. BlueHost
    • Hourly Limit: 150 emails.
    • Pro Tip: If you need to increase your limits, have a good reason ready! I once convinced support to lift my limits, and it worked wonders.
