Email issues

Cox has just changed to yahoo mail and we were able to keep our cox email address. However, we can no longer send out emails using the cox email server. I just tried to call to see if there is a solution and customer service is not open yet.

This issue has to do with email addresses. We can perform some troubleshooting steps to resolve this problem. You can update your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) to the latest release. This way, you'll have the latest features and fixes. Then, check email settings to ensure they are configured correctly. 

 

Here's how to update to the latest release:
