Q: I have been told by iCloud that I can't send any more email today.

I have been told by iCloud that I can't send any more email today.  I've sent my maximum.  I was prepared to upgrade, but apparently I'm at the maximum of 50 GB.  Any suggestions?

    It's nothing to do with your storage levels: there are limits placed on the numbers of emails you can send.

     

    I quote:

     

    iCloud has several safeguards to ensure that only iCloud members can send messages using the iCloud outgoing mail server. Among these safeguards are reasonable limitations on:

    • The total number of messages you can send each day (200 messages)
    • The number of recipients to whom you can send each day (1000 recipients)
    • The maximum number of recipients per message (100 recipients)
    • The size of incoming and outgoing messages (20 MB)

    iCloud email has been designed primarily for personal use. Sending unsolicited bulk email messages through iCloud email servers is prohibited. To review the iCloud membership agreement and acceptable use policy, please see the iCloud Terms and Conditions.

    If you have reached these limits you will have to wait until tomorrow.
