Is Hotmail Limiting Your Emails? Frustrated & Seeking Advice!

[jcwarr]

does anybody else use hotmail and get locked out when you have sent your quota for emails? whenever i send out a mass mailing to my clients now i have to wait 24 hours to send another email!!! it is so frustrating and i feel like no one should pay for email service just to get a bigger account - i certainly don't use it enough to warrant that except on newsletter days or special emailings i send. thanks for any advice / help!!!!!

For those who use a free email service,I suggest Yahoo. I dont think they have a quota for sent emails, and I believe they also dont disapeer after a set amount of time if you dont look into your account (hotmail does after 30 days, saved emails and all). I use incredimail (www.incredimail.com) and I oove it, but it pulls my emails from my original server (verizon), just fancies them up a bit.

Actually you can go over your "alloted" mailing limit with Yahoo. I do it every time I send out anything to my PC Preferred Customer list. I have to split my list into 2 and then wait an hour to send the second mailing. Other then that I love Yahoo!!

My husband has gmail, and they seem to be pretty good about stuff like that. Just a suggestion!

GMAIL IS AWESOME!!!If you need an invitation to gmail, let me know. It is free and there is tons of space and even chat built right in!

Yahoo is a specific limit per hour. I send mine out in groups of around 50 or so...takes a while, but it works!

I use gmail for my mom groups and love it, but I dont' know if there are any limits because I don't do mass emails with that account. Its free to use you just have to have someone invite you, if you want to give it a try email me at [email protected] and I will send you an invite.

I have a paid service through our cable provider and it will lock me if I send to too many contacts at once. I have heard that you should never address an e-mail to more than 10 contacts at once or it will be put in the contact's bulk mail folder. I don't know if it's true, but I end up sending any e-mails about 20 times to all the contacts I have. It's a pain but I hope it makes a difference...

Do you know if that counts blind carbon copies as the contacts? There is no way I could send out my newsletter 10 people at a time! I have almost 200 people in my address book!

10 people at a time for 200 is only 20 emails. I miss the good old days when I could tell a message to be sent at x time or on x day at x time. Your email might allow for you to create groups so that you don't have to keep adding in a lot of addresses but simply select one group and send out the email over a day or two.
