As a business owner, email is nonnegotiable. Email helps you communicate with vendors, promote your upcoming product line, and move leads throughout the sales funnel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, you don\u2019t need an expensive marketing automation software \u2014 or even a separate email address \u2014 to accomplish all the above. In fact, you can sell, promote, and communicate with your audience straight from your existing Gmail account, with a few limitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

To cut down on spam, Google limits how many emails<\/a> you can send per day. Currently, Gmail\u2019s email limit is 2,000 emails per day for a Google Workspace account (formerly known as G Suite accounts) and 500 emails for a personal or trial account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Google\u2019s sending limits prevent you from operating and marketing your business<\/a>, there is a workaround. With the right plugin, you can completely bypass Gmail\u2019s email sending limit, sending unlimited emails per day. Below, we explain why the Gmail email limit exists in the first place, what the current limits are, and how to (legally) get around it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Why Does Gmail Enforce a <\/strong>Sending Limit<\/strong> in the First Place?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Put simply, Gmail limits the number of emails you can send each day to cut down on spam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spam is not a new problem. Every day, there are 320 billion spam emails<\/a> sent across the world. Not only is spam annoying and invasive, but it can also be dangerous to email users. A reported 94% of malware (i.e., computer viruses created by cybercriminals) are delivered via spam-related messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Governments around the globe have tried to cut down on spam. Legislation like the CAN-SPAM Act in the United States<\/a> and the General Data Protection Regulation<\/a> in the EU provide strict laws as to how businesses can market themselves and communicate with prospects via email. Unfortunately, legal ramifications haven\u2019t been enough to control the problem. Today, spam makes up over half of all global email traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is why big tech companies, like Google, have stepped in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every week, Google scans over 300 billion attachments<\/a> for malware across its 1.5 billion+ users. Every day, Google blocks more than 100 phishing scams from entering user inboxes. To help reel in the ever-growing spam problem, Google has put a number of safety procedures in place \u2014 starting with the Gmail email limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is the Current <\/strong>Gmail Sending <\/strong>Limit?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Gmail email limit applies to more than how many emails you can send per day. Google\u2019s daily sending limit includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
