Understanding Daily Send Limits
How per-inbox send limits work and what to set them to.
Each connected inbox has its own daily send limit — the maximum number of emails Mail Maya will send from that inbox in a 24-hour period. The counter resets every day at midnight.
Why limits matter
Email providers flag accounts that suddenly send large volumes of email. Starting low and increasing gradually signals normal human behaviour to email providers, which protects your sender reputation and keeps your emails landing in inboxes rather than spam.
Recommended limits by inbox age
- Brand new inbox (0–2 weeks old): 20–30 emails/day
- 1-month-old inbox: 50–75 emails/day
- 3-month-old inbox: 100–150 emails/day
- Established inbox (6+ months): 150–200 emails/day
Note: Never set a limit above 200 emails/day on a single inbox, even for established accounts. Spreading volume across multiple inboxes is far safer.
How Mail Maya enforces limits
Before sending any first-touch email, Mail Maya checks whether the inbox has reached its daily limit. If the limit is reached, the email is deferred to the next day. Follow-up emails in an active sequence bypass the daily limit to ensure sequence completion — only new first-touch emails are blocked.
Tip: If you need to send more volume, connect additional inboxes and spread campaigns across them. This is called inbox rotation and is the standard approach for high-volume outreach.
