You can stay in touch with your contacts by emailing invoices, statements, bills and more. Before you email from AccountRight, you need Microsoft Outlook (2007 or later, 32-bit version) installed on your computer and set as your default email program. When you email a transaction from AccountRight (such as an invoice or purchase order), it's converted to a PDF and attached to your email. You can also attach a file, such as your latest catalogue, and override the default email message. If you want to check the status of an email or review what was sent, you'll find the original email in your Outlook mailbox. | UI Expand |

How to emailTypically, you can display what you want to email, then click Send to > Email. 
Emailing attachmentsDo you want to include your latest price list when emailing an invoice? Or perhaps you want to include a birthday card when emailing a report to your accountant (stranger things have happened!). Click Attach on the Email window to select an additional attachment. 
Email addressesThe email addresses in your contacts’ cards are used when sending emails. Click To if you have additional email addresses specified in a contact’s card which you want to use. Or you can type email addresses directly into the To field, and use a semi-colon (;) to separate multiple addresses. Default email subject and messageThe default Subject and Message for your emails are specified using the Email Defaults window (Setup > Preferences > Reports & Forms tab > Emails). This lets you customise your email text making it specific to your business. You can override the default text in the Email or Review Forms Before Delivery windows when sending an email. To change the form which is used when emailing, see Set a default form to print and email. | HTML |

| title | I get an "Error sending email" message |
|---|
| If you get an "Error sending email" message when emailing pay slips, make sure you are using the latest version of AccountRight. An issue was found in an earlier version of AccountRight and fixed in 2015.2. This message can also appear when other software or your system settings stop the email being transferred from AccountRight to Outlook. This includes: - Outlook security settings
- Third party security software, such as antivirus
- User Access Control settings
As the issue is outside AccountRight, it's difficult to know the exact cause. We recommend seeking help from an IT specialist or the MYOB community to find an appropriate fix. |

| title | How do I reprint or resend forms? |

| If you need to reprint or resend a transaction, redisplay it and then click Print or Send To from the transaction window. For example, to reprint a sale, find it in the Sales Register window and click the zoom arrow to display it in the Sales window. Then click Print or Send To. If you need to reprint or resend a few transactions look for the Print/Email...buttons in the relevant command centre. For example, to reprint a few sales, click Print/Email Invoices in the Sales command centre. If the transactions aren't listed in the Review... window, click Advanced Filters and deselect the Unprinted or Unsent Only option. |

| title | How do I remove emails from the To Be Emailed tab. |

| If you only have a few emails to be removed open each of the transactions and change the Delivery Status to Already Printed or Sent. If you have lots of emails to be removed, disconnect your computer from the Internet. In your software send all the emails, but without an internet connection, it will only move them to the Outbox in Outlook. Delete these from the Outbox and then reconnect to the Internet. |

| title | How do I make email the default delivery method? |
|---|
| You can set an option to make email the default delivery on each customer card. Go to the Selling Details tab of a customer card and set the Invoice Delivery field to To be Emailed. Note that if this option isn't available, it's likely you've selected the No Default or Miscellaneous sales layout type which is only used for recording adjustments. You can also set a preference to email sales immediately after recording them. Go to the Sales Preferences (Setup menu > Preferences > Sales tab) and select the Automatically [Email] Sales When They are Recorded option. |
