Email Delay - CONTINUED

Why does it take over ten minutes to send an invoice?  I see MUTLIPTLE PAGES of complaints on this issue.  Small businesses do not have the time to trouble shoot, reinstall, post into these communities and stay on hold with your "help desk" for hours at a time.  The onus is NOT on the user - it's on INTUIT.

 

Do NOT reply to this thread with how to submit feedback. It's a black hole.  Do not reply to this tread telling me to restart, reinstall, update, get more memory.  When I press "send", and email should be sent in three seconds.  

 

You're a HUGE company. Have you ever used your product?  Can you image if all the invoices you had to send to your users took ten minutes?  Hard to collect when you can't render services.

It's important to ensure you can send emails smoothly without issues, @NET2019.

 

I'll provide some troubleshooting steps to help you with this.

 

There could be various reasons causing a delay in sending emails in QuickBooks Desktop, such as network connectivity, email server configuration, or a large email attachment. To isolate this issue, we can perform some troubleshooting steps.

 

First, let's ensure your QuickBooks Desktop is updated with the latest patches and updates. QuickBooks releases periodic updates to address known issues and improve performance. After updating, download and install the most recent version (1.6.0.3) of the QuickBooks Tool Hub. Then, follow the steps below to run a QuickFix in the QuickBooks Tool Hub:

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Close QuickBooks Desktop.
  2. Open QuickBooks Desktop Tool Hub as admin.
  3. In the QuickBooks Tool Hub, select the Program Problems tab.
  4. Click on Quick Fix my Program.
  5. Start QuickBooks Desktop and open your data file.

If you continue to experience issues or need further assistance with the automatic email feature in QuickBooks Desktop, I recommend reaching out to the QuickBooks Desktop Support Team for more specific guidance tailored to your situation. They will be able to provide you with detailed troubleshooting steps to address the issue.

 

Additionally, I'm including these articles on how to create and receive payments for an invoice in QuickBooks Desktop:

Thank you for this unthoughtful (most likely) automated response. You made to sure include troubleshooting advice that I specifically asked you not to give.

This answer sums up Intuit Customer Service in a nutshell.

Just circling back as this issue continues to persist.  Not just for myself, but for other small businesses as well.

Once again, I am following up on this issue that continues to persist.  I have yet to recieve an email, an UNautomated response, carrier piegon or smoke signal. Intuit, can you also not send emails?

 

I have now uninstalled and reinstalled the program FOUR TIMES. INTUIT SPEND SOME MONEY ON SERVERS AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT, NOT MAILCHIMP.
