    Mine comes up with this regularly but I usually just click on the Retry &/or Switch To a few times & then the emailing continues as normal 😬

    Hi, Yes I did that to get the payslips out but moving forward I need to solve the problem due to a very large payroll & EOM AP remittances & AR statments will need to go out soon. Any help appreciated.

    Hello @Kathyd ,

    The guide @Rav posted is your best bet to correct the issue.

    The reason this issue occurs is due to a protocol failure on Outlook's end when Reckon Accounts attempts to send items through to Outlook.

    As you are using Reckon Accounts Desktop, you may want to switch to the Outlook v2 protocol - you can do so by doing the following:

    1. Go to Edit.
    2. Select Preferences.
    3. Go to Send Forms.
    4. In My Preferences, change the Email Provider to Outlook V2.

    If you still have the Switch To/Retry box appearing, then it would be best to contact your IT and have them follow KB 5772 that Rav posted (again here: https://help.reckon.com/article/6m60uv7w1i ), as there may be issues with your Outlook's protocols in regards to Reckon Accounts.

    I hope this helps.

    Kind regards,

    Hi Alexis

    I understand the issue, generally, but would like to know how to use RegEdit to merely give more time before getting the "Server Busy/Allow or Deny message" when emailing from Reckon Accounts. I don't want to send emails without preview, nor do I want to disable the 'Suspicious emails are being sent from your account' setting. I purely would like to add another second or two before the message appears. This would give me time to quickly run my eyes over the outgoing email before approving the send.

    Dear @GregK ,

    Unfortunately, as this issue is on Microsoft's end, I would not be too certain nor confident in providing an answer around modifying the registry.

    You may wish to reach out to Microsoft's forums or community for an answer, as we cannot at the current time provide that information.

    Kind regards,

    Thank you for the prompt reply. Looking at your colleague Rav's link https://community.reckon.com/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&target=https%3A%2F%2Fhelp.reckon.com%2Farticle%2F6m60uv7w1i-6m60uv7w1i-kba-5772-server-busy-allow-or-deny-error-when-emailing-from-reckon-accounts about using the Reg Editor to disable those safeguards, it seems to me that delaying the warning prompt would be safer. I'll look through Microsoft's forums.
