Emailing from MYOB is unreliable

We have been experienciung intermitant issues with the MYOB email service. Emailing items to the inbox is unreliable. Sometimes thety appear, sometimes not. Emailing invoices to customers from MYOB is unreliable. Sometimes they send immediately. Sometimes they are delayed. Sometimes they never send. This render makes MYOB highly frustrating and a time water at best, unesable at worst as we can't rely on invoices to go to customers. Is this a known issue with a committed fix. We're on the verge of switching to Xero if we ca't rely on MYOB for the absolute basics. We use MYOB through the browser. Issue experienced from multiple computers, multiple browsers (Chrome, Opera) so it is not a local issue on our end.

    Hi, djr123

     

    Thanks for your response.

     

    If you're still encountering issues about intermittent emailing, kindly send the email by batch or in smaller batches. Please let us know how it goes.

    Thanks Doreen. We have experienced this issue both emailing to our MYOB Inbox, and emailing single invoices to customers from MYOB. (ie. we do not have an option available to do in smaller batches). IT appears to be an issue re the reliability of the MYOB email service.

    Hi JulieMac2,

    Thanks for your post. 

    We are aware of this issue, and the current workaround is to send the email in smaller batches or by batch if you are still experiencing intermittent emailing problems. Additionally, to pinpoint the cause of the issue, can you locate an invoice or bill that you know hasn't been received? Please try sending it individually first and check if it's received. Then, send it again to a different email address (such as your own) to see if it arrives. If your customer receives it when sent individually but not in bulk, you may need to send it in smaller batches.
     

    If one email address receives it while another does not, the recipient might be blocking it. In that case, check the spam and firewall filters that could be causing the block.

     

    Feel free to post again, we're happy to help!
