Which Sending Account type should I choose?

When setting up your JungleMail account, one of the essential steps is choosing your sending account type. This decision can influence your email delivery speed, how your emails are perceived by recipients, and the level of configuration required. Below we outline the two most popular sending account types and their respective pros and cons to help you make an informed decision. For detailed instructions on how to set up sending accounts, please read our article.

Google Workspace sending account

Method: Uses Google Workspace API to send emails through a user or mailbox.

Advantages:

  • Delivery Assurance: Emails are delivered directly to the recipient's inbox because of the great reputation of Google's email servers.
  • Internal Treatment: Sent emails to your organization are treated as internal communications, ensuring trust.

Limitations:

  • Google Limits: Subject to Google's sending restrictions of 2,000 emails per 24 hours.

Best For: Businesses or organizations that prioritize email deliverability and trust, and have a relatively smaller number of recipients (up to 1,750). This option is also great for reaching the inboxes of partners or clients.

JungleMail Mail Server Sending Account

Advantages:

  • Increased Speed: Offers a substantially higher email sending speed compared to the Office 365 account, making it ideal for larger newsletters.

Limitations:

  • Additional Configuration: Requires extra steps such as:
    • Allowlisting JungleMail server to ensure deliverability directly to the inbox.
    • Removal of any external message tags or warnings to maintain a consistent brand experience.

Best For: Businesses or organizations that have larger recipient amounts (more than 2,000) and need to send out newsletters or communications rapidly, and are willing to invest some time in setup and configuration to optimize the recipient experience.

Conclusion

Your choice between the Google Workspace sending account and the JungleMail Mail server will largely depend on your specific needs. If deliverability and trust are paramount, and you're sending to a more contained list, the Google Workspace Sending Account option may be best. However, if speed is crucial, especially for larger mailings, and you're open to a bit of configuration, the JungleMail server could be the right choice for you. You can also consider implementing both sending account types, and use them for different scenarios. For example, you can send out company-wide newsletters using the JungleMail Mail Server, and use the Google Workspace Sending Account to reach partners or clients.
