Install might not be the correct topic...

I have been using Desktop QB pro + for 20 years...the last few years I have had issues with sending Invoices via Outlook Desktop imap/smtp account and had to switch to qb email system...A number of things I don't like about it is,

1 there are no copies or "sent files" to review...I have to take QB's word for it when it says "sent";

2 the invoice is often sent to spam when it arrives as "Intuit E-Commerce Service" and not with my company email.

 

So the issue is that I have the invoicing going out through the local outlook program, but there is no record of it in sent mail. I know it is going out because the test invoice has been delivered.

 

The question is: How do I get outlook to keep a record of sent emails from QB????

 

Thanks

Hello and welcome! I understand you're having trouble sending invoices via Outlook Desktop IMAP/SMTP account on your QB Pro. I can certainly help you with that.

 

It could be because of the configuration in your Outlook preference. If you want to know more details about the preferences, I recommend reaching out to the Microsoft team.

Yes, I had a problem getting them to work together...no longer.

My problem is that there is no record/copy of the invoice being sent from outlook in the Sent folder.

Is there a way to send invoices the way Excel and Word "E-mail as a PDF Attachment" function...paper trails are sometimes a good thing.

I acknowledge that keeping track of invoices is crucial for you, Pawleys. Allow me to provide some information on the matter. 

 

Please know that QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) may not be fully compatible with Outlook 365. I suggest contacting Microsoft Support to determine why the invoice was not recorded in the Sent folder of Outlook.

 

Additionally, the option to email invoices as a PDF attachment within the program is unavailable. I suggest submitting a feature request to our software engineers. Please be assured that they will thoroughly review the feedback received and may consider incorporating this feature in future product updates.

 

  1. Select the Help option, then click the Send Feedback Online option.
  2. Tap Select the Product Suggestion option. A pop-up window appears.
  3. Enter your feedback suggestion.
  4. Hit the Send Feedback button. 

 

To set up your email service in the system, check out this article: Connect your email to QuickBooks Desktop.

 

You can also customize your sales forms to control how they look and what information to include.

 

You can count on me if you require further guidance about sending invoice emails in QBDT. I'm always here to walk you through the different processes you need. Stay safe.
