My attachments files are not sent

If your attachment is not sending with your emails, it might be due to the file size being too large or a temporary connection issue.

1. Please make sure your attachment size is below 5MB. You may need to use an online service to compress your files such as a PDF compressor.
2. Try to create a new template in Mailmeteor and attach your file again. This might solve a download issue due to a temporary connection loss.

If you need to send files over 5MB, please refer to this quick guide to help you do this: send attachments in Mailmeteor.

Email alias is not working

If you are using an email alias but emails are not sending correctly, the main reason might be that your email alias is not well configured in Gmail. Indeed, Mailmeteor falls back to your primary email address when your alias is not properly set up.

How to solve an email alias not working properly:

1. Check that your alias is well configured in Gmail using Mailmeteor’s Gmail alias checker
2. Once you made sure your alias is set up correctly, try to send a test email from your Gmail account with your email alias
3. If everything works in Gmail, then it will work in Mailmeteor too!

“You have reached a limit for sending email”

If Gmail prompts this error after you’ve run a mail merge, it means that you’ve reached your sending capacity or that your email was detected as spam. Mailmeteor sends emails using your own Gmail account, this means that when your account reaches this limit, you can’t send emails for a period of around 24 hours. Read this guide to learn more about how to fix this issue.
