Hi there, JeffAnderson72.
I understand how inconvenient this 2-minute delay is, especially since everything else is operating normally. Allow me to help and make sure you can send emails smoothly without issues.
Various factors can cause a delay in sending emails in QuickBooks Desktop. It could be because of network connectivity, email server configuration, or a large email attachment. Thus, we can perform some troubleshooting steps to isolate this issue.
First, make sure that your QuickBooks Desktop is up to date with the latest patches and updates. QuickBooks releases periodic updates to address known issues and improve performance. Once done, download and install the most recent version (1.6.0.3) of the QuickBooks Tool Hub. Then, follow the steps below to run a QuickFix in the QuickBooks Tool Hub.
Here's how:
- Close QuickBooks Desktop.
- Open QuickBooks Desktop Tool Hub as admin.
- In the QuickBooks Tool Hub, select the Program Problems tab.
- Click on Quick Fix my Program.
- Start QuickBooks Desktop and open your data file.

If you're still experiencing delays in sending emails, you can check and confirm the email server settings, port number, and authentication details. It's also a good idea to test your email settings using a different email client to verify if the issue lies within QuickBooks or the email server itself.
