Mail Merge for Gmail Users
Best practices for sending personalized emails through your mail provider.
Connecting Your Account
Outboxer works with any email provider that supports SMTP. This includes Gmail, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and most business email services.
SMTP Settings
For Gmail/Google Workspace:
- Server: smtp.gmail.com
- Port: 587 (TLS) or 465 (SSL)
- Authentication: Your email and app password
Important: We recommend using an app-specific password for enhanced security.
Understanding Sending Limits
Most email providers have daily sending limits:
- Personal Gmail: ~500 emails/day
- Google Workspace: ~2,000 emails/day
- Microsoft 365: ~10,000 emails/day
Outboxer's batch sending feature helps you stay within these limits while maximizing deliverability.
Deliverability Tips
- Warm up your account - Start with smaller batches
- Use batch sending - Space out your emails
- Monitor bounce rates - Clean your list regularly
- Personalize content - Avoid looking like spam
