Outreach
Sending limits and safeguards
Why Ladel paces emails, and how it keeps your mailbox out of spam.
Outreach from Ladel goes from your own mailbox, so your mailbox’s reputation is on the line. Ladel paces your emails, caps how many go each day and stops you writing to the same person twice, so your emails land in inboxes, not spam folders. This page explains each safeguard.
The limits at a glance#
| Limit | Value | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Emails per mailbox | 100 in any 24 hours | Well under Gmail’s and Outlook’s own caps, so your mailbox isn’t flagged. |
| Undo window | 2 minutes after you approve | Time to change your mind. |
| Gap between emails | About 2 minutes, per mailbox | A steady pace looks like a person writing, not a blast. |
| People per batch | 1 to 100 | Keeps each batch reviewable. |
| Recently contacted | Held back for 30 days | So nobody hears from your firm twice. |
100 emails per mailbox a day#
Each connected mailbox can send up to 100 emails through Ladel in any rolling 24 hours. It counts single emails and outreach batches together.
- When you set up a batch, Ladel tells you how many more can go from that mailbox today. The rest wait and go tomorrow on their own.
- If you try to send a single email over the limit, you’ll see a message like “you@firm.in has sent 100 emails through Ladel in the last 24 hours, the most allowed. Try again tomorrow, so the mailbox isn’t flagged for spam.”
- A queued email that hits the limit waits and tries again an hour later.
Need more each day?
Connect a second mailbox, such as a shared careers@ address, and send some batches from it. Each mailbox has its own 100.
Paced sending#
Approved emails don’t all go at once. Each one waits 2 minutes, which is your window to press Undo, and emails from the same mailbox go about 2 minutes apart. A batch of 30 approved together takes around an hour to finish.
Sending happens on Ladel’s servers, so you can close the tab and it carries on. Press Stop the rest in the review to stop anything not yet sending.
When Gmail or Outlook says slow down#
Sometimes Google or Microsoft asks an account to send less for a while. When that happens Ladel stops sending from that mailbox, waits, and tries the email again an hour later. You don’t need to do anything. If you’re sending a single email you’ll see The provider is limiting this account for now. Try again in a few minutes.
No double emails#
Anyone your firm emailed through Ladel in the last 30 days, or who already has an email queued, is held back as Emailed recently when you reach out. No lookup is spent on them, and they’re only emailed if you open the draft and press Send anyway.
On a shortlist, hover someone’s outreach status to see which teammate wrote to them. On a profile, the email history line shows when and from which address.
Checks on every address#
- Ladel only uses email addresses its provider rates as likely to work, and prefers verified and work addresses.
- Addresses it’s less sure of are marked Check address and only sent when you choose to.
- Nothing is ever sent without your approval.
Good habits#
- Review each email for your first few batches, until you trust how Haley writes for your roles.
- Keep batches focused: one role, one city or one kind of company, so every email is relevant.
- Write a clear “What it’s about”, with the role, the place and what makes it worth a reply.
- Mark replies with Replied? so your shortlist shows the true picture.
Questions#
Can I raise the daily limit?
The limit protects your mailbox, so it applies to everyone. Connect another mailbox to send more, or write to contact@ladel.in to talk about your needs.
Do emails I send from Gmail directly count?
No. Ladel only counts emails sent through Ladel. Gmail and Outlook keep their own, much higher, limits.
