Hi there, JeffAnderson72.
I understand how inconvenient this 2-minute delay is, especially since everything else is operating normally. Allow me to help and make sure you can send emails smoothly without issues.
Various factors can cause a delay in sending emails in QuickBooks Desktop. It could be because of network connectivity, email server configuration, or a large email attachment. Thus, we can perform some troubleshooting steps to isolate this issue.
First, make sure that your QuickBooks Desktop is up to date with the latest patches and updates. QuickBooks releases periodic updates to address known issues and improve performance. Once done, 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:

If you're still experiencing delays in sending emails, you can check and confirm the email server settings, port number, and authentication details. It's also a good idea to test your email settings using a different email client to verify if the issue lies within QuickBooks or the email server itself.

I am also currently experiencing delays when sending emails. I have also reinstalled QBD and have checked all email ports. This issue has not been resolved.
I assume this has something to do with the mandatory/ involuntary update occurring in May 2024.
Hello there, NET2019.
Yes, the delays you encountered may be caused by the upcoming update in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). This update will impact users of QuickBooks Desktop 2021 and earlier versions and will result in service discontinuation after May 31, 2024. In addition, access to live support, and receiving the latest critical patch and updates will be unavailable. Thus, upgrading to the latest version of QuickBooks Desktop will help prevent any potential issues and ensure you have access to the features and support.
Furthermore, you can view this website to learn how to upgrade to a newer version of QBDT within the program: Upgrade QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus, Premier Plus, or Enterprise.
