when i email invoices to customers in pro 2017, they do not show up as sent in the outlook 2013 sent folder, as my previous quickbooks accountant 2013 did. 

it is important for support when a customer questions whether or not i emailed them an invoice. i have already checked the save sent emails in sent folder in outlook 2013 options/mail so that is  not a solution.

    Hi everyone,


    Thanks for reaching out to the QuickBooks Community. I’m here to help ensure the sent invoices show up in the sent folder in Outlook and Yahoo Mail.


    Let’s see if your Outlook profile is set up to save copies of sent messages, @asmartt and @alc. See the steps below:


    1.    Open Outlook.
    2.    Go to the File menu.
    3.    Choose Options.
    4.    Select Mail.
    5.    If the Save copies of messages in Sent Items folder box already checked, let’s clear it and exit out of Outlook.
    6.    Once done, follow steps 1-4.
    7.    Then, go back to the Save messages section and check the Save copies of messages in Sent Items folder box.
    8.    Hit OK.


    I’ll walk you through performing the same steps in Yahoo Mail, @Clin8596:


    1.    Log in to your account.
    2.    Pick Options.
    3.    Select More Options.
    4.    Click the General tab.
    5.    Check the Save a copy of the message in the Sent Folder box.


    Now you can try sending invoices via QuickBooks to see if they appear in your mail account.


    If the sent transactions are still not showing, you need to make sure the Server Name and Port for Yahoo are set up correctly in QuickBooks Desktop.

     

    Here’s how:


    1.    Click the Edit menu.
    2.    Choose Preferences.
    3.    Pick Send Forms, then go to My Preferences tab.
    4.    Select the email id and click Edit.

     

    Here's the Set up your email service in QuickBooks Desktop article to view the list of SMTP servers and ports.


    If none of the steps work, I recommend contacting your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to check how they handle outgoing messages. There might be some settings they need to configure to allow the sent data from QuickBooks to automatically appear in the Sent Items folder.


    Don’t hesitate to let me know how things go with QuickBooks. Have a great day.

    Can you provide instructions using a Dreamhost email account that is forwarded to my gmail account?  I would like to be able to see the attachement in my sent items folder in gmail. Thx!

    I have Microsoft 365 and am having the same problem with sent estimates created in QB showing up in the sent folder for Outlook.  All other sent messages created outside of QB show up in the Sent folder.  The "Save Copies of Messages in the Sent items folder" is checked... obviously.  (Were it not other emails sent outside of QB wouldn't be showing up there.
