Based on the information retrieved from the Amazon SES FAQs page, there is a clear distinction between the capabilities of Amazon SES V1 and V2 in terms of email size limits:
- Amazon SES V2 API and SMTP accept email messages up to 40MB in size, including any images and attachments that are part of the message. Messages larger than 10MB are subject to bandwidth throttling.
- Amazon SES API V1 accepts messages up to 10MB in size, including any images and attachments that are part of the message.
This suggests that if you need to send larger emails, Amazon SES V2 would be the better choice. However, there is still no explicit recommendation from Amazon for one version over the other.

Response from Amazon Q:
For sending emails using the Amazon SES API, you have the choice between using the @aws-sdk/client-ses package or the @aws-sdk/client-sesv2 package. Here are some key differences:
- The @aws-sdk/client-ses package interacts with the original Amazon SES API (version 2010-12-01), while @aws-sdk/client-sesv2 interacts with the newer Amazon SES API version 2020-12-01.
- The original SES API has reached the end of life and will be deprecated. So for new applications, it's recommended to use the SESv2 API and @aws-sdk/client-sesv2 package.
- The SESv2 API provides additional functionality like support for contact lists, email templates, and event publishing to SNS topics. It also has improved support for things like email content filtering and delivery notifications.
- The @aws-sdk/client-sesv2 package follows AWS SDK best practices with features like asynchronous operations, configuration builders, and response pagination.
