Microsoft 365 email account limitations
You might encounter an error when working with Microsoft 365 because of email limits. For example, if you try to send an email to more than 500 people, you'll get an error because you've exceeded the maximum number of email recipients.
Note: These limitations only apply to Microsoft 365. If you have Workspace Email, see this article instead.
