Dear Microsoft team,

I have moved over from Yahoo mail to OUTLOOK, thinking that MS Corp is the best for emails and will ensure I can send emails.

I am currently searching for a job and noticed Outlook has some kind of limit placed to my account (******@outlook.com)

Can you help cancel such limits or I will have to use another email client.

Thanks for your understanding.

Riz

    Outlook.com sending limits cannot be manually removed on request. They are enforced by Microsoft to help prevent spam, and new or low-trust accounts can have lower temporary quotas until account credibility is established.

    Supported steps to improve or restore sending capacity:

    1. Update account security info, including phone number and alternate email address.
    2. Complete profile details such as profile name, photo, date of birth, and gender.
    3. Use a strong password with uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
    4. Add intended recipients to Outlook.com Contacts.
    5. Communicate frequently with existing contacts.
    6. Use the Microsoft Authenticator app to verify identity.
    7. If the account is new, wait for the temporary low sending quota to increase as credibility is established.

    Checks that can also block sending:

    • Attachments larger than 25 MB cannot be sent.
    • If a signature is configured, remove it and try sending again.
    • If a non-delivery receipt was received, review the reason in that message.
    • The recipient may need to add the address to their safe senders list.

    For Microsoft 365 subscribers, documented Outlook.com limits are:

    • Daily recipients: 5,000
    • Maximum recipients per message: 500
    • Daily non-relationship recipients: 1,000

    Limits can be lower for non-subscribers and may vary based on usage history.

    If self-help does not resolve it in Outlook.com, use Help in Outlook.com, enter the issue, then go to Still need help? and select Yes.
