I hit the daily message limit from Outlook.com--now how do I get my email working again?

I received the following message after my phone accidentally sent quite a few duplicate emails. How do I get my email privileges restored?

The daily message limit helps us free the world from spammers--we're sorry that it's getting in your way. Thanks, The Outlook.com Team

Hello sw111,

I do not have the information with me, but it sounds like you are very new to Outlook.com, thus, you have a very low sending quota of just 10 emails per day.

How can I raise the limit?

1. continuing to use your account normally
2. building a good reputation within Outlook.com e-mail algorithm system
3. upgrading to ad-free Outlook.com

What is the sending limit?

It is anywhere from 10 to 300 e-mails per day varies by account, but maximum 100 recipients per e-mail.

So how can I get my privilege restored?

You have to wait until the (invisible) time count down that limits your sending limit is over.

Or, you may like to speak with a Microsoft representative here: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=330767

I hope my answer is helpful to you. :)

Regards,
XP
