When I'm trying to create an email for receipt forwarding. An error showed up " There was a problem creating your email. Try again later."

 

It's broken for MORE THAN A YEAR. Could someone take a look?

I understand that you've been experiencing an issue with creating an email for receipt forwarding for over a year. To address this issue, here are some steps you can take:

Check Internet Connection: Ensure that you have a stable internet connection. Sometimes, connectivity issues can prevent email creation or submission.

Browser or Email Client: If you're using a web-based email service or email client, try accessing it from a different web browser or email client. Sometimes, the issue could be related to the specific application you're using.

Clear Browser Cache: If you're using a web-based email service, clear your browser's cache and cookies. Cached data can sometimes cause issues with email functionality.

Disable Browser Extensions: Disable any browser extensions or add-ons that might be interfering with the email creation process.

Update Software: Ensure that your email client or software is up to date. Outdated software can have compatibility issues.

Check for Service Status: Sometimes, email services experience temporary outages or issues. Check the service status or official support channels of the email provider to see if there are any known issues.

Contact Support: If the problem persists after trying the above steps, it's a good idea to contact the customer support or help center of the email service provider. Describe the issue in detail, mention that it has been ongoing for over a year, and ask for their assistance in resolving it.

Remember to provide as much information as possible when contacting customer support, including any error messages or screenshots of the problem.

All procedures done. Your customer support also was able to confirm it's a system problem. Don't blame it on my computer. OK?

This is an issue for me as well, has this been resolved. Support has not helped and said it was because of my subscription. Is this true?

It would be helpful if you could answer the persons question. I have that question also. But I'm trying to set it up for a client as an accountant user. I can't find any info on it it requires a specific subscription level or a specific user type (IE, can only the primary admin set this up). Any help on this question would be appreciated. If you don't have an answer, please don't reply with some mumbo jumbo about reaching out to support as this only adds to the frustration. Thank you for your understanding.
