Email: Ability to set senders email address for Outlook

Holy SMTP, Batman!

We are talking about SMTP in AccountRight, right?

If so, it will do authentication and SSL/TLS, right?

Edit: I'm talking about what CloverQ said here.

Hi Everyone

Thank you for your feedback and voting for this idea.

We are are looking on adding this idea in an up and coming release. It will the option to set an email address inside the company file and embed that on the email so that recipient can reply to that email address if required.

AWESOME !!!!

Send a whole heap of invoices from my personal email address the other day and it confused so many people !!

I agree AWESOME!

Looking forward to this.  Like several others I have several businesses for which I use MYOB and trying to remember to change to the appropriate email address fails everytime.

You change it, make a mental note, sometimes I set an alarm to remind me to change it back but I will get a call or someone comes in and asks a question and you get destracted and fail to change it back.  Meanwhile you then have to contend with query emails or phone calls as the clients/employees are confused.

It will be fantastic - can't wait.

Why is the only option Outlook?  

We use Gmail and so have to download and save to PDF every document that we wish to email.

Surely in this day and age, only having Outlook as an option, is rather outdated.

And the option to be able to use email if you have the Online Product, is just another way of extracting $.

Perhaps, consider being able to use any other email provider besides Outlook would be useful.

I vote for this.

I believe this is actually part of a larger issue - that MYOBs Email sending capabilities simply don't include many features that Outlook offers. This is why i made a suggestion to add a setting to get MYOB to compose the Email in Outlook, but NOT send it (at the moment it composes the email in Outlook and sends it automatically with no way to stop it or change it) - this will allow the user to modify the contents, add attachments, etc.

Here's a link to my suggestion made a while back, although unfortunately it didn't gain any traction: http://community.myob.com/t5/AccountRight-Idea-Exchange/Compose-email-in-outlook-BUT-DON-T-SEND-YET/idi-p/361131

Hi Everyone
Thank you for your feedback and comments relating to the idea.
With the release of online emailing for AccountRight 2016 the development of emailing for AccountRight has headed in a different path. This particular idea is something that we might consider in the future but at this stage we are not actively considering or developing. You can find more information into Online Emailing via Set up AccountRight to send emails

Once again thank you for your feedback and voting for this idea.

Steven_M This makes me very sad. I could rant on about how i believe this is a gigantic mistake providing all my valid concerns and issues with this 'different path'... but I expect it will only fall on deaf ears.

Steven_M I get that MYOB now has an email solution direct from the software......BUT....what happens when I want to know what I wrote in an email?  All it shows me is that I emailed an Invoice.  Not what I wrote!  This needs to be addressed!

AND MYOB needs to make the box contain MORE characters.  It is way too limited in the characters that can be typed.

AND it would be amazing if you could include generic text as a drop down.  I have to cut/paste from a word document depending on what I want to say.

I have to email it to myself and then retype it how and however long I want to the email to be.

Still TOO limiting MYOB.
