Daily message limit

Question

What is the number of messages for the daily limit

Answer 1

Hi, I'm John!

The daily sending limit in Outlook isn’t a fixed number for everyone. It depends on your account type and how trusted your account is.

Microsoft adjusts limits based on factors like account activity and reputation, security setup (such as having 2FA enabled), and sending behavior (for example, bulk vs normal use).

This can happen if the system detects unusual activity, or if your account hasn’t been fully verified.

If you haven't already, the best place to start is making sure your account is fully verified, check that your security info (like your phone number or alternate email) is up to date at https://account.microsoft.com Once that’s done, the limits often lift within 24 hours.

Answer 2

For Outlook.com, the standard sending limits for Microsoft 365 subscribers are:

• Daily recipients: 5,000
• Maximum recipients per single message: 500
• Daily non-relationship recipients (people not emailed before): 1,000

Note that limits may be lower for non-subscribers and can vary based on usage history.
