Email sending limits for Gmail and Outlook mailboxes

Open Channels, then Email, open the mailbox and choose the Limits tab. Total Daily Max sets how many emails the agent may send from that mailbox in a day. Sellinger recommends 50 to 150 a day, and sliders split the total between new outreach, follow ups and replies.

Before you start

  • Connect the mailbox first. See how to connect your email account.
  • Plan low volume on a new mailbox. The screen advises warming up on low volumes and raising gradually.

Steps

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Open the mailbox

    Go to Channels, then Email, and open the mailbox's drawer.

    Step 2

    Open Limits

    Choose the Limits tab.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    Set Total Daily Max

    Enter a number in Total Daily Max. It is the most messages per day across all types. The badge shows the recommended range.

  4. 4

    Step 4

    Split the total

    Use the sliders for new outreach, follow ups and responses. Each moves in steps of 5.

  5. 5

    Step 5

    Decide about replies

    The response override switch lets the agent always answer incoming mail, even when the daily total is used up.

  6. 6

    Step 6

    Save

    Click Save limits. A message says the mailbox limits were updated.

What happens next

The agent never sends more than the total in a day. New outreach waits for the next day once the cap is reached.

Good to know

  • The recommended range for email is 50 to 150 a day.
  • The default for a mailbox created through Sellinger is 50 a day.
  • Gmail and Outlook set their own sending rules on top of this. See email deliverability.
  • Send days and hours come from the mailbox schedule. See send windows and time zones.

Common questions

Is there a warm up switch?
The Limits tab has no separate warm up control. It advises starting low and raising gradually, so raise the number yourself over a few weeks.
What is the highest number I can enter?
The field accepts up to 10,000. That is not a safe volume for a single mailbox.
Do replies count against the limit?
Only if the response override is off.
