The error "An email session could not be started. Please check your MAPI installation." can occur if you're not using Microsoft Outlook 2007 - 2016 and later (32-bit) to send your emails.

If you are using Microsoft Outlook 2007 - 2016 and later (32-bit), you can fix this error by uninstalling and reinstalling AccountRight.

The error "A program is trying to access e-mail address information stored in Outlook." is an Outlook security warning which occurs when sending an email through a 3rd party program. The email is from AccountRight so it's fine to click Allow to send it.

You can stop this message by changing a preference in Microsoft Outlook. This is a temporary solution which should only be done if you have up-to-date antivirus software on your computer. This Outlook security setting is intended to prevent malicious and unauthorised access to Outlook, so you should discuss the implications of changing it with an IT person.

The error "I/O Error in Routine" can be caused by a temporary PDF file on your computer which is preventing the document from being created and emailed. For help finding and deleting this file, see Error: "I/O Error in Routine" when emailing.

Here's an example of a "cmc" error:

The first thing to check with "cmc" errors is that the recipients' email addresses are correct. If they are, you'll need to repair Microsoft Outlook. Here's how:

The error "Either there is no default mail client or current mail client cannot fulfill the request" will occur if you're using the 64-bit version of Microsoft Office. Your MYOB software is only compatible with the 32-bit version of Microsoft Office.

If you're using the 32-bit version of Microsoft Office and receiving this error, please see this Microsoft support article.

If pictures are missing from your emailed attachments, see Images not displaying in customised forms.

If your emails from AccountRight aren't appearing in the Outbox or Sent Items folder, make sure Outlook is set as your default email program.

If the issue persists, you might have an issue with Microsoft Outlook. Check the Microsoft support site for help and software updates.

If AccountRight is closing when sending multiple emails through Microsoft Outlook 2016, it usually means Outlook needs fixing. Repairing Microsoft Outlook should fix this problem - see this Microsoft support article for help.

If a field is missing from an emailed attachment (but the field shows when the form is printed), customise the form to make the field larger or reduce the size of the font in the field.

See this support note for instructions.

If your emails from AccountRight don't have PDF attachments, security software on your computer might be interfering with the email being sent from AccountRight to Outlook. Try temporarily disabling security software (antivirus, firewall, etc.) to see if this identifies the program which might be interfering. You might need help from an IT person to resolve this issue.

As a temporary workaround, you can save the document as a PDF file and use Outlook to attach it to an email. To save a document as a PDF file from AccountRight, display the document then click Send To and choose PDF.

If you have an email waiting to be sent from AccountRight but you don't want to send it, open the transaction and change the Delivery Status to Already Printed or Sent .

If you have lots of emails waiting that you don't want to send, disconnect your computer from the internet, "send" the emails from AccountRight, then delete them from the Outbox in Outlook. You can then reconnect your computer to the internet.

If you can't select a contact when emailing, make sure the customer's or supplier's card isn't set to Inactive (check on the Profile Tab of their card).

Be aware that customer statements can't be emailed if the customer's outstanding balance is zero. Similarly, supplier remittance advices can't be emailed if the supplier accounts payable balance is zero.

You can set the Invoice Delivery preference on the Selling Details tab of the customer's card (Card File command centre > Cards List > Customer tab > open the card > Selling Details tab).

If you are using AccountRight 19.14 or above

1. Close AccountRight.
2. Simultaneously press the Windows and E keys on your keyboard (the Windows key is between the Ctrl and Alt keys). The File Explorer or Windows Explorer window appears.
3. Navigate to the MapiEX folder in your AccountRight program folder, for example C:/PlusClassic/MapiEx
4. Right-click the file called MapiEX Disable and choose Cut.
5. Right-click your AccountRight program folder (such as PlusClassic) and choose Paste.
6. Launch AccountRight and attempt to send your emails again.

If the issue persists or you are using an earlier version of AccountRight try the following.

As discussed in this Microsoft support article, if Outlook is set up to compose emails in Rich Text Format, Outlook will sometimes attach a file called "Winmail.dat" to your emails. To stop this, ensure Outlook is set up to compose emails in Plain Text. This setting is usually under the Mail settings in Outlook.

• In Outlook 2010 and later: File > Options > Mail > Compose messages
• In Outlook 2007: Tools > Options > Mail Format > Message Format

If the issue persists, go back into the Outlook settings and change the message format from Plain Text to HTML and try emailing again.

If only some recipients are receiving the Winmail.dat attachment

You may need to reset the message format for those recipients' email addresses. Here's how:

If emails from AccountRight are being sent from the wrong email address, make sure your preferred email address is set as the default in Outlook.

If you're being prompted to 'Choose Profile' or to select a Profile Name when emailing, make sure Microsoft Outlook is open then resend the emails.

• Gmail
• Hotmail or outlook.com
