 Has anyone figured out how to get Quickbooks to send invoices to an MAPI =
mail
program (in my case - Eudora) so I can have a record of sent emails etc.=20

Why does it send it through Intuits' servers?

Thanks
John

 Have you ever considered using something like CutePDF to print the invoice
to a PDF file that you can attach to an e-mail message you compose yourself?
Otherwise, you are stuck using the Intuit mail servers.

Yes! But you have to send them one at a time with that method - and I =
have a
LOT of invoices that I send out all at once.=20

Curious as to WHY Intuit has decided to do it this way when it's =
obviously
"unorthodox" and I cant see how it benefits the user or Intuit without me
imagining something cynical.

Cynical is correct. Remember this is Intuit we are talking about.

I wondered about this too, for some time. My conclusion (thus far) is
that they did this in an effort to prevent invoices from bouncing back
to the sender as suspected spam. A "bigger" organization is going to
be better equipped to ensure consistent mail delivery than a "smaller"
one, such as ourselves.

It's cheesy sounding, but they are looking at their bottom line. That
means if they have to support a "no touch" system that mails invoices
for you, versus helping you setup the interaction between your QB and
your MAPI or SMTP provider, and troubleshooting those services when
they are down, QB will choose the former and cut down the cost of
running their call centers.

As the "vendor" to my clients, I really believe that my bookkeeping
software should allow me to route these e-mails through Exchange. At
least give me the option, so that I have a record of what was sent, to
whom, and when. That QuickBooks doesn't allow this, and that it does
not record these messages is in my opinion a complete abortion.
