In your app.yaml or java equivalent set the minimum number of idle instances to 2, this will get you quickly over the free quotas…
Here is the modules syntax: automatic_scaling: min_idle_instances: 2 Then you can remove the lines... Regarding the suggestions to move to another e-mail vendor I would look at it only as you grow. My app currently sends about 50,000 e-mails a year and I have been very happy with native GAE e-mail.

The free quota limit is 100 emails per day. I reached the limit and want to increase it. So I signed up for paid service. Now I read elsewhere that the email quota limit will not be increase until after 1 full payment cycle. But this is not possible. Because the rest of my application does not extend beyond any of the free quota limits. So I will always be blocked at 100 emails and I will never be charged a payment cycle. Is there a way to make a payment to Google... like as a donation or something... in order to generate a payment cycle against my card in order to begin the process of being charged for emails beyond the 100 limit? Or how else can I send out more then 100 emails? It seems that perhaps the limit should be raised to 200 emails per day when a user enters paid service. In this way, it is possible for me to exceed the limit, incur a billing cycle and then request a much higher limit. I am not spamming. I am sending emails requested by users through a form.
