Email Issues

We have been having issues emailing invoices to customers for about a year, maybe a little more. They email out but only 5 at a time. Once I get to the third batch of 5 it stops sending them. I usually get about 12 out in total before it completely stops sending them. I have to reboot my QuickBooks and most of the time it will let me send another 12 or so, and then the process restarts. When we first started having this issue I called in and was told that the problem was known and that the next update would have a fix. We did our update and its still the same. We usually have around 100 invoices at a time to send so it is very time consuming to get out our invoices. Does anyone know if this issue is being looked at? Or maybe I need to adjust some settings to make it work? We use QuickBooks Enterprise Manufacturing & Wholesale 18.0. Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

Email Issues

Hi there, @TashaTGW.

 

We can perform some troubleshooting steps to isolate the issue you had with emailing invoices. I'm here to help and guide you with the steps.

 

First, let's ensure that your QuickBooks Desktop to the latest release. This process helps you get the latest features available and fix common issues with your file.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Help menu and select Update QuickBooks Desktop.
  2. Switch to the Update Now tab. You can select the Reset Update checkbox to clear all previous update downloads.
  3. Select Get Updates to start the download.
  4. When the download finishes, restart QuickBooks.
  5. When prompted, accept the option to install the new release.

 

After updating your QuickBooks, I recommend checking your mail settings and review the filter preferences. These may be blocking your emails from QuickBooks on accident. Depending on your email service, you can follow the instructions provided in this article under Step 2: Check your email settings.

 

Lastly, you can check your antivirus settings. If you determine that your antivirus is blocking outgoing emails, you may consult with an IT professional or contact your anti-virus provider. This way, they can help you with allowing QuickBooks to connect when setting up your webmail.
