After you've connected your email account to Email Sequences, you can customize how it behaves: from how many emails it sends per day to the name and signature recipients see.
All of these settings are accessible from the Email accounts center. Click Edit on any connected account to get started.
Daily sending limit
The default limit is 15 emails per day per email account connected.
This conservative starting point is intentional: email providers like Gmail and Outlook monitor new sending behavior closely, and a sudden spike in volume can trigger spam filters or temporary blocks. Starting low gives your account time to build a positive sending reputation.
How to increase it:
Go to Email Accounts in Sequences Settings, click Edit on the account, and adjust the daily limit.
Maximum limits by provider:
Provider | Max daily limit |
Gmail / Google Workspace | 400 |
Outlook / Microsoft 365 | 250 |
SMTP/IMAP | 250 |
Important: Increase your limit gradually — add only 5–10 emails per day at a time. This builds your domain's credibility and reduces the risk of being flagged. See How to warm up your email account for a full guide.
When your daily limit is reached, all scheduled emails pause automatically and resume after midnight, following your configured sending window.
Sender name
The sender name is the name that appears in your recipient's inbox next to your email address (e.g., "Jane Smith" in "Jane Smith jane@company.com"). Choosing the right sender name matters — it's the first thing people see and directly affects whether they open your email.
Gmail / Google Workspace and SMTP/IMAP: Edit the sender name directly in your Email Accounts settings in Hunter. Update it and click Update to save.
Outlook / Microsoft 365: The sender name is pulled from your Microsoft account when you first connect and cannot be changed in Hunter.
Gmail aliases: If you have aliases set up in your Gmail or Google Workspace account, you can select one as your sending address. More information on how to set an alias here.
Signature
Your email signature is the block of text that appears at the bottom of every email you send — typically including your name, job title, company, and contact details.
A well-crafted signature adds credibility and makes it easy for recipients to learn more about you or get in touch.
How you manage your signature depends on your provider:
Provider | How to edit your signature |
Gmail / Google Workspace | Hunter fetches it automatically from your Google account. Edit it in your Gmail settings. |
Outlook / Microsoft 365 | Cannot be retrieved automatically. Add your signature manually in each sequence. |
SMTP/IMAP (paid plans) | Edit directly in Hunter via the Edit button in Email Account settings. |
Gmail and Google Workspace signatures show up when you’re writing a sequence email. Just click the three-dot button in the email body to insert/view them.
