Client Statement Sending Through incorrect email

I am currently running Quickbooks Desktop and I have been sending statements to our clients through a shared mailbox [email address removed]. When i select [email address removed]  as the sender email, i check my outlook and see that the email has been sent through my work email ([email address removed] ) 

I checked in the mail settings and i do have the method that allows me to select my email (not the "outlook" option since that requires me to enter credentials).

 

I do have another person that could send it through email1 and i did test to see if there is an issue with the new/old oulook.. 

Thank you for your attention!

Client Statement Sending Through incorrect email

Thanks for detailing that out for me. What is happening here is that QuickBooks gets confused by your main login token, so it keeps defaulting to your personal account.

 

To fix this, we'll need to have a refresh using these steps:

 

  1. Go to Edit, select Preferences, and click Send Forms.
  2. Under My Preferences, delete the shared email.
  3. Click Add to put it back, and make sure you type the shared email credentials into the pop-up box.

 

If that email doesn't have its own password, QuickBooks won't let you use the webmail option for it. You'll have to switch your QuickBooks settings to the Outlook option instead, which means adding that shared email directly into your Outlook app first.

 

You can find the exact steps right here: Connect your email to QuickBooks Desktop.
