This article will teach you how to set daily sending limits for your email accounts in our cold email software. It also provides information on the daily sending limits of popular email providers.
Snov.io sends emails through your email provider’s server after you connect your email account. This makes it look like you sent the emails directly from your email address.
Your email provider has a limit on the number of emails you can send daily. If you go over this limit, your email account may be temporarily suspended.
How to set the daily limit for your email account
The daily sending limit allows you to manage and control the number of emails you send from a particular email account. It helps you stay within the limits set by your email provider and avoid exceeding them.
Open Email Accounts page. On the Email Accounts page, you’ll see daily metrics for connected mailboxes.
The Sent metric indicates the total number of emails you have sent through Snov.io on that particular day (excluding warm-up emails).
The Limit metric indicates the daily limit set for that particular email account.
Click on the Edit icon next to the required mailbox.
Find Optional settings section and open the Daily sending limit tab.
Enter the desired number of emails you want to send per day in the Messages per day box. The default limit is 200 emails.
When you reach the daily email limit, Snov.io will stop sending emails from your account, and any associated campaigns will pause.
The daily limit resets at midnight UTC (universal time), not based on your account’s timezone. This reset time is the same for all Snov.io users.
Scroll down and click the Save button to apply the changes.
Note: Please be aware that your email provider’s limit includes all emails sent through Email campaigns, Email Warm-up, as well as any single emails you send from a prospect profile. Consider this when you set the daily sending limit in Snov.io.
If you set a higher daily limit than what is allowed by your ESP, we may not be able to send that amount. This is because your sending limit is determined by your provider.
However, within Snov.io, you can connect multiple email accounts and send unlimited emails to your recipients as per your quotas.

How to increase your sending volumes
If you use a newly created account to reach the maximum limit set by your provider, your mailbox will most likely be restricted.
To achieve better sending performance and send larger volumes of emails, the key is to do so gradually. This requires progressively increasing the number of emails you send daily and maintaining a good level of email engagement.
Remember that email account history and sender reputation play a major role in determining your daily sending limit.
Warm-up will help you build your sender reputation and address deliverability issues.
To increase your sending capacity, you can connect multiple email accounts, each with its own daily sending limit.
