<li>The limits applied to a Microsoft 365 organization may differ depending on how long the organization has been enrolled in the service.</li>
<li>When a limit is changed in the Microsoft data centers, it can take some time to apply the change to all existing customers.</li>
<li>You can't modify most of these limits, but you and your users should be aware of them.</li>
<li>These limits apply to both internal and external recipients.</li>
<li>By default, Exchange Online Protection (EOP) protects Exchange Online mailboxes. For limits that apply to EOP features in Exchange Online, see <a href="../exchange-online-protection-service-description/exchange-online-protection-limits" data-linktype="relative-path">Exchange Online Protection limits</a>.</li>

<p>Exchange Online provides three kinds of notifications when a user's mailbox is nearing, or at, capacity:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><strong>Warning</strong>: The user receives an email warning that the mailbox is approaching the maximum size limit. This warning is intended to encourage users to delete unwanted mail.</p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>Prohibit Send</strong>: The user receives a prohibit-send notification email when the mailbox size limit is reached. The user can't send new messages until enough email is deleted to bring the mailbox below the size limit.</p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>Prohibit Send/Receive</strong>: Exchange Online rejects any incoming mail when the mailbox size limit is reached, and sends a non-delivery report (NDR) to the sender. The sender can try resending the mail later. To receive messages again, the user must delete email until the mailbox is below the size limit.</p>

<p>The following list includes limits that apply to journal rules, transport rules (also known as organization-wide rules), and limits that apply to inbox rules. Individual users can set up inbox rules that are applied to messages sent and received by the individual user's mailbox.</p>
<ul>
<li><p><strong>Maximum number of journal rules</strong>: The maximum number of journal rules that can exist in the organization.</p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>Maximum number of transport rules</strong>: The maximum number of rules that can exist in the organization.</p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>Maximum size of an individual transport rule</strong>: The maximum number of characters that can be used in a single transport rule. The characters are used in the conditions, exceptions, and actions.</p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>Character limit for all regular expressions used in all transport rules</strong>: The total number of characters used including all the regular expressions in all the transport rule conditions and exceptions in the organization. You can have a few rules that use long and complex regular expressions, or you can have many rules that use simple regular expressions.</p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>Scanning limits for attachment content</strong>: The transport rule conditions let you examine the content of message attachments, but only the first 1 MB of the text extracted from an attachment is inspected. This 1 MB limit refers to the text extracted from the attachment, not to the file size of the attachment. For example, a 2 MB file may contain less than 1 MB of text, so all of the text would be inspected.</p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>Maximum number of recipients added to a message by all transport rules</strong>: When a message is acted on by different transport rules, only a finite number of recipients can be added to the message. After the limit is reached, any remaining recipients aren't added to the message. Also, a transport rule can't add distribution groups to a message.</p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>Forwardee limit</strong>: The maximum number of recipients that can be configured for an inbox or transport rule with a redirecting action. If a rule is configured to redirect a message to more than this number of recipients, the rule can't be applied and any message that satisfies the rule condition can't be redirected to any of the recipients listed in the rule.</p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>Number of times a message is redirected</strong>: The number of times a message is redirected, forwarded, or replied to automatically based on Inbox rules. For example, User A has an Inbox rule that redirects messages to User B, based on the sender. User B has an Inbox rule that forwards messages to User C based on keywords in the subject line. If a message satisfies both of these conditions, the message is only sent to User B; it's not forwarded to User C because only one redirection is allowed. In this case, the message is dropped without sending a non-delivery report (NDR) to User B indicating that the message wasn't delivered to User C. We make use of the X-MS-Exchange-Inbox-Rules-Loop header to determine the number of times that a message was redirected. This header remains also across Exchange organizational boundaries.</p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>Number of times a message is redirected by transport rules</strong>: The number of times a message is redirected based on transport rules. For example, Exchange organization Tailspin Toys have a transport rule to redirect every message that was sent to User A to User B, which is located in Exchange organization Contoso. Within Exchange organization Contoso, there's a transport rule in place to redirect every message that was sent to User B to User C, which is located in Exchange organization A. Datum Corporation. In this case, the message is dropped and a non-delivery report (NDR) with status code and reject message <em>550 5.7.128 TRANSPORT.RULES.RejectMessage; Transport rules loop count exceeded and message rejected</em> is sent to User A. We make use of the X-MS-Exchange-Transport-Rules-Loop header to determine the number of times transport rules redirected a message. This header remains also across Exchange organizational boundaries.</p>

<p>These limits are intended to limit mailboxes to known dimensions that can be supported in Exchange Online. The goal of these limits is to prevent an infinite number of mailbox items per folder, an infinite number of folders per mailbox, or an infinite number of public folders per Exchange Online organization. For practical purposes, mailbox folder limits are in effect unlimited and sufficient to support most Exchange Online mailboxes and on-premises mailboxes that are migrated to Exchange Online.</p>
<ul>
<li><p><strong>Maximum number of messages per mailbox folder</strong>: Specifies the maximum number of messages for a mailbox folder. New messages can't be delivered or saved in a folder when this limit is reached.</p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>Warning for number of messages per mailbox folder</strong>: Specifies the number of messages that a mailbox folder can hold before Exchange Online sends a warning message to the mailbox owner. When this quota is reached, warning messages are sent once a day.</p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>Maximum number of messages per folder in the Recoverable Items folder</strong>: Specifies the maximum number of messages that can be contained in each folder in the Recoverable Items folder. When a folder exceeds this limit, it can't store new messages. For example, if the Deletions folder in the Recoverable Items folder has exceeded the message count limit and the mailbox owner attempts to permanently delete items from their mailbox, the deletion fails.</p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>Warning for number of messages per folder in the Recoverable Items folder</strong>: Specifies the number of messages that each folder in the Recoverable Items folder can hold before Exchange Online logs an event to the application event log.</p>

<li><p><strong>Warning for folder hierarchy depth</strong>: Specifies the number of levels in the folder hierarchy of a mailbox folder that can be created before Exchange Online sends a warning message to the mailbox owner. When this quota is reached, warning messages are sent once a day.</p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>Maximum number of public folders</strong>: Specifies the maximum number of public folders in the complete public folder hierarchy. When this limit is reached, existing public folders must be deleted before new public folders can be created.</p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>Maximum number of subfolders per public folder</strong>: Specifies the maximum number of subfolders that can be created in a public folder. New subfolders can't be created in a public folder when this limit is reached.</p>

Without a license, shared mailboxes are limited to 50 GB. To increase the size limit to 100 GB, the shared mailbox must be assigned an Exchange Online Plan 2 license. If Exchange Online Plan 1 license with an Exchange Online Archiving add-on license is assigned, this condition lets you enable auto-expanding archiving for additional archive storage capacity. Similarly, if you want to place a shared mailbox on litigation hold, the shared mailbox must have an Exchange Online Plan 2 license or an Exchange Online Plan 1 license with an Exchange Online Archiving add-on license. If you want to apply advanced features such as Microsoft Defender for Office 365, Microsoft Purview eDiscovery (Premium), or retention policies, the shared mailbox must be licensed for such feature(s). <br><sup>3</sup> Resource mailboxes don't require a license. However, without a license, resource mailboxes are limited to 50 GB. To increase the mailbox size, an E3 or E5 license must be assigned. An E3 or E5 license increases the mailbox size to 100 GB. <br><sup>4</sup> Archive mailboxes aren't included in Exchange Online Kiosk.

You can change the size limit individually on each folder or change the default size limit defined in the organization’s configuration to make the change effective for all folders in the organization. Note: Maximum recommended size of individual public folder is 25 GB. If an individual public folder grows above 25 GB, it will have issues during <a href="https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/exchange-team-blog/how-exchange-online-automatically-cares-for-your-public-folder/ba-p/2050019" data-linktype="external">auto-split process</a>. <br><sup>6</sup> You're limited to 1,000 public folder mailboxes, and the maximum total size of all public folder mailboxes is 100 TB.

Using archive mailboxes as a means of storing mail from multiple users or entities is prohibited. For example, an IT administrator can't create a shared mailbox and have users copy it (through the Cc or Bcc field, or through a transport rule) for the explicit purpose of archiving. A shared mailbox that multiple people use doesn't actually store email for those individual users. Multiple users have access, and they send email as the shared mailbox. Therefore, the only emails stored in the shared mailbox are those sent to or from it, <em>as</em> the shared mailbox. <br><sup>8</sup> If you have created a retention policy in Exchange Online, messages will be automatically moved to a user's archive mailbox only if the user's primary mailbox is larger than 10 MB. The retention policy will not run automatically for mailboxes that are smaller than 10 MB. <br><sup>9</sup> Shared and resource mailboxes don't require a license.

<p>The following limits are applied to every email message.</p>
<ul>
<li><p><strong>Message size limit</strong>: Message size limits are necessary to prevent large messages from blocking delivery of other messages and affecting service performance for all users. These limits include attachments, and apply organization-wide to all messages (inbound, outbound, and internal). Messages larger than this limit won't be delivered, and the sender will receive a non-delivery report (NDR). While message size limits can be configured up, down, or on a per-user basis, administrators can also create transport rules to limit the maximum size of any individual attachment. To learn more, see <a href="https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2144144" data-linktype="external">Microsoft supports larger email messages</a>.</p>
<div class="alert is-info">
<p class="alert-title"><span class="docon docon-status-error-outline" aria-hidden="true"></span> Note</p>
<p>Some email clients may have lower message size limits or may limit the size of an individual file attachment to a value that is less than the Exchange Online message size limit.</p>
</div>
</li>
<li><p><strong>Message header size limit</strong>: Specifies the maximum size of all message header fields in a message. The current limit is 256 KB. Individual headers are limited to 32KB each. If the total size of all message headers exceeds 256 KB, Exchange Online will reject the message with error "552 5.3.4 Header size exceeds fixed maximum size." The size of the message body or attachments isn't considered. Because the header fields are plain text, the size of the header is determined by the number of characters in each header field and by the total number of header fields. Each text character consumes 1 byte.</p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>Subject length limit</strong>: The maximum number of text characters allowed in the subject line of an email message.</p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>File attachments limit</strong>: The maximum number of file attachments allowed in an email message. Even if the total size of all the file attachments doesn't violate the message size limit, there's still a limit on how many attachments are allowed in the message. This limit is controlled by the multipart message limit.</p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>File attachment size limit</strong>: The maximum file size of a single attachment.</p>
<div class="alert is-info">
<p class="alert-title"><span class="docon docon-status-error-outline" aria-hidden="true"></span> Note</p>
<p>This is the maximum file size of a single attachment. Individual client programs, including Outlook on the web, may limit the size of attachments below this maximum. Exchange ActiveSync does not implement attachment size limits on an individual attachment basis. The total size of all attachments to an Exchange ActiveSync message must be less than the message size limit.</p>
</div>
</li>
<li><p><strong>Multipart message limit</strong>: The maximum number of message body parts that are allowed in a MIME multipart message. This limit also controls the maximum number of file attachments that are allowed in a message.</p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>Embedded message depth limit</strong>: The maximum number of forwarded email messages that are allowed in an email message.</p>

<p><sup>1</sup> The default maximum message size for Microsoft mailboxes is 35 MB for sending and 36 MB for receiving. Microsoft administrators can specify a custom limit between 1 MB and 150 MB. However, the size of message you can send or receive also depends on what your email client or solution supports. For more information about customizing the maximum allowed message size for your organization, see <a href="https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2144144" data-linktype="external">Microsoft supports larger email messages</a>.
<br><sup>2</sup> You can send and receive up to 150 MB messages between users (where the message never leaves the Microsoft datacenters). Messages that are routed outside of the Microsoft datacenters are subject to an additional 33% translation encoding increase, in which case the maximum message size is 112 MB. <br><sup>3</sup> OWA accounts for the possibility that your message may be subject to the 33% encoding increase and restricts the size of message you can send to 25% less than the configured setting. For example, if you customize your settings for a 100 MB maximum message size, you can send messages no larger than 75 MB.
<br><sup>4</sup> The sizes of messages to be moved into Exchange Online are computed by Exchange Online. Versions of Exchange prior to Exchange Server may report a smaller item size. This limit applies to move-based migrations using any supported Exchange Mailbox Replication Service. Other migration methods (Cutover, Staged, IMAP, PST) and other third-party tools are limited by the general message size limit. <br><sup>5</sup> For information about OME with new capabilities, see <a href="https://support.office.com/article/7ff0c040-b25c-4378-9904-b1b50210d00e" data-linktype="external">Set up new Message Encryption capabilities built on top of Azure Information Protection</a>. <br><sup>6</sup> Classic file attachments have a limit of 112 MB, but OneDrive file attachments can be up to 2 GB.</p>

<p>These limits control the moderation settings that are used for message approval applied to distribution groups and transport rules.</p>
<ul>
<li><p><strong>Maximum size of the arbitration mailbox</strong>: If the arbitration mailbox exceeds this limit, messages that require moderation are returned to the sender in a non-delivery report (NDR).</p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>Maximum number of moderators</strong>: The maximum number of moderators that you can assign to a single moderated distribution group or that can be added to a message using a single transport rule. You can't specify a distribution group as a moderator.</p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>Expiration for messages waiting for moderation</strong>: By default, a message waiting for moderation expires after two days, and admins can't extend this interval. However, the processing of expired moderated messages runs every seven days. This means that a moderated message can expire at any time between two and nine days.</p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>Maximum rate for expired moderation notification messages</strong>: This limit sets the maximum number of notification messages for expired moderated messages in a one-hour period. This limit is placed on each mailbox database in the datacenter.</p>

</ul>
<p>During periods of heavy usage, some senders may not receive notification messages for moderated messages that have expired. However, these notifications are still discoverable using delivery reports.</p>

<p>Sending limits apply to the number of recipients, number of messages, and number of recipients per message that a user can send from their Exchange Online account.</p>
<p>For distribution groups stored in an organization's address book, the group is counted as one recipient. For distribution groups stored in the Contacts folder of a mailbox, the members of the group are counted individually.</p>
<p>Sending from another mailbox via permissions is counted for the delegate with rights and not the mailbox that is being sent from.</p>
<ul>
<li><p><strong>Recipient rate limit</strong>: To discourage the delivery of unsolicited bulk messages, Exchange Online has recipient limits that prevent users and applications from sending large volumes of email. These limits are applied per-user to all outbound and internal messages.</p>

<p class="alert-title"><span class="docon docon-status-error-outline" aria-hidden="true"></span> Note</p>
<p>Exchange Online customers who need to send legitimate bulk commercial email (for example, customer newsletters) should use third-party providers that specialize in these services.</p>

<p>For the purposes of the recipient rate limit and the recipient limit, a distribution group that is stored in the organization's shared address book counts as one recipient. In a personal distribution list, each recipient is counted separately.</p>
</div>
</li>
<li><p><strong>Recipient proxy address limit</strong>: The recipient proxy address limit is the maximum number of aliases (email addresses) that a recipient mailbox can have.</p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>Message rate limit</strong>: Message rate limits determine how many messages a user can send from their Exchange Online account within a specified period of time. This limit helps prevent over consumption of system resources by a single sender. If a user submits messages at a rate that exceeds the limit via SMTP client submission, the messages will be rejected and the client will need to retry.</p>

The user won't be able to send messages again until 09:00 AM the next day.<br><sup>2</sup> You can customize recipient limits between 1 and 1000 for existing mailboxes and for new mailboxes that will be created in the future. Edit the recipient limit on existing mailboxes individually or in bulk using the Exchange admin center and customize the default setting for new mailboxes via Remote PowerShell. For more information, see <a href="https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/exchange-team-blog/customizable-recipient-limits-in-office-365/ba-p/1183228" data-linktype="external">Customizable recipient limits in Office 365</a>.<br><sup>3</sup> These numbers can vary slightly since the limit is based on number of characters so the number of email addresses will vary depending on how long they are. As a rule of thumb, it's safer to assume that the limit of smtp addresses in ProxyAddresses is approximately 300 addresses to leave room for future growth of the object and its populated attributes.<br><sup>4</sup> When outbound message volumes surpass the message rate limit, any excess in message submission will be throttled and successively carried over to the following minutes. This will typically not block the sender's account, but Exchange Online isn't suited to accommodate bulk-mailing scenarios. For this use case, options 2 and 3 <a href="/en-us/exchange/mail-flow-best-practices/how-to-set-up-a-multifunction-device-or-application-to-send-email-using-microsoft-365-or-office-365" data-linktype="absolute-path">here</a> are recommended instead.<br><sup>5</sup> The length of the email address and the encryption policy that is generated can't exceed 4 MB.</p>

<p>Recipient limits in Microsoft 365 when sending meeting invitations or updates is 5,000 recipients (maximum number of recipients on any outgoing meeting message - whether a new invitation, a meeting update, or a meeting cancellation). This maximum applies only to meeting messages. This ensures that you are able to update or cancel the meeting and still see the list of attendees and responses.
