Unable to Email Customer Statements

Hello MindyP21,

 

I can help you get your customer statements emailed. Before that, here are some troubleshooting steps that we need to go through. 

 

Let's make sure that your QuickBooks is in its latest release. Updating the release version will help to fix issues like unable to send emails. 

 

Then, let's check the email preferences if it was set up correctly.

  1. At the top menu bar, click Edit.
  2. Choose Preferences.
  3. Click Send Forms on the left panel.
  4. Under My Preferences tab, select the email account you're using.
  5. Click Edit.
  6. Mark the SSL box, or just select Default.
  7. In the Server Name field, make sure the server name matches your email provider's settings. (If you see smtp.mail.yahoo.com for example, change the name intuit.smtp.mail.yahoo.com and click OK.)

If you're getting an incorrect password error message when updating the email preference, please follow steps in this article to resolve it: QuickBooks Will Not Accept my WebMail Password.

 

Go ahead and email the statement again. 


Please let us know if you have any questions. Thanks!

This did not help as the server settings are correct since I am able to send invoices, estimates, etc.  The only thing I can not email is Customer Statements.

I am having the same issue. Tech Support has no clue. All they have me do is reconnect my email account. Was the issue ever resolved if so, what did you do to fix?

Thanks for joining us in this thread, Patla.

 

Were you able to send your statements after reconnecting? There might have been a connection issue when you were sending them out. This is why you were asked to reconnect your email account in QuickBooks.

 

if you can't still send your statements, please follow the troubleshooting steps shared in the previous replies.

Hello there,

 

Aside from some troubleshooting provided by my colleague, we can perform another way to resolve this.

 

Here's how:

  1. On your Home tab, click the Statements icon.
  2. Under the Template section, click Customize.
  3. Select Customize Data Layout.
  4. Modify the template, then OK.
  5. Go back again to the Template section, this time click the copy of the standard statement.
  6. Then, click Email.
  7. Review the statement, then click Send.

 

 

 

I'll be around if you need more help. Have a good day!

Thanks for reaching out to us, @MindyP21.

 

I appreciate you taking the time to follow all the troubleshooting steps so you can send statements to your customer.

 

Let's try to turn on the security app feature of your email provider.. This might be the new security process of your email service.

 

If the same issue persists, I recommend contacting our QuickBooks Desktop Support Team. By doing so, they'll be able to investigate the cause of the issue.

 

Let me know how the call goes by leaving a comment below. I'm always glad to help whenever you have follow-up questions.

So, still no answers?

 

I'm stuck as well with this problem, everything can be emailed just fine, except statements. The Send button in the statements' Send Forms window doesn't do anything....

 

Pretty annoying to do all of that work in gmail, not my vision of streamline....

Let me help you sort this out, @Nicolas Rido.

 

Here are some of the possible reasons as to why you encounter errors when printing, emailing or saving sales forms in QuickBooks Desktop.

  • The email preference is set up incorrectly.
  • A damaged QuickBooks installation.
  • The email address domain of the admin was blocked.
  • Account security settings from your email provider.

To resolve the issue, let’s first download and run the Print & PDF Repair Tool. Here’s how:

  1. Download and run the QuickBooks Print and PDF Repair Tool.
  2. Once the tool completes, try the .pdf file-related task that originally generated the error.

If the error still persists, let's proceed with resetting your temporary folder's permission.

 

Here's how:

  1. Press the Windows key + R to open the RUN command.
  2. Type %TEMP% and press Enter.
  3. Right-click an empty area of the temp folder, and choose Properties.
  4. Click the Security tab.
  5. Ensure all usernames and groups are showing on the Security tab have Full Control.
  6. Try saving as PDF again within QuickBooks once permissions have been set to Full Control.

Once completed, try sending statements to your personal email. In the Send Forms window, you can review the statements you want to send and change your email template or message. Once you’re ready, you can click the Send Now button.

If there is any missing information, like an email address, a dialog box will pop up. You’ll need to supply the correct information before you can proceed.

If you continue to get the same result, please check out this article for additional troubleshooting steps: Troubleshoot PDF and Print problems with QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Also, you use the following reference in resolving unexpected behaviors while navigating in QuickBooks:

Thanks, but neither the tool nor the security settings (they were already at "Full Control") helped. The "Send" button "clicks" but doesn't process anything...

Hello, @krod2020.

 

When creating a statement in QuickBooks, let's make sure that your QuickBooks is in its latest release. Updating the release version will help to fix issues like unable to send emails. 

 

Then, let's check the email preferences if it was set up correctly.

  1. At the top menu bar, click Edit.
  2. Choose Preferences.
  3. Click Send Forms on the left panel.
  4. Under My Preferences tab, select the email account you're using.
  5. Click Edit.
  6. Mark the SSL box, or just select Default.
  7. In the Server Name field, make sure the server name matches your email provider's settings. (If you see smtp.mail.yahoo.com for example, change the name intuit.smtp.mail.yahoo.com and click OK.)

If you're still getting the same error message when updating the email preference, please follow steps in this article to resolve it: QuickBooks Will Not Accept my WebMail Password.

 

Go ahead and email the statement again. 


Please let us know if you have any questions. Thanks!
