Gmail Limits for Sending Email Messages:
Gmail isn’t designed for sending bulk email. If you are planning to send an email to a large group of friends using Gmail, Read the following rules to avoid temporary lockdown of your Gmail:
Rule 1: You can send emails to a maximum of 500 recipients per day through the Gmail Account. If you trying to exceed limit the Gmail account get temporarily disabled with error – “Gmail Lockdown in Section 4.”
It is important to note that this limit is around recipients and not messages. Thus you can send 10 emails to each 50 people or 1 email can be send to a maximum of 500 people.
Rule 2: If you access Gmail via IMAP or POP clients, like Apple Mail or Microsoft Outlook, you can send an email to a maximum of 100 people at a time. If you exceed the limit, your account may be disabled for a day with the error – “550 5.4.5 Daily sending quota exceeded.”
