Where To Configure Email
Daily Inbox Capacity
Each connected inbox has a configurable daily capacity that defaults to300. Available capacity subtracts both messages already sent and pending messages reserved for that day. FirstTouch also observes outbound messages sent outside FirstTouch from the same inbox.
For a FirstTouch send, the primary recipient and every CC or BCC recipient each consume one capacity unit. See Sending and Scheduling.
