Hello all,

 

Hopefully this helps some of you.

 

We found the issue to be something that became corrupt or misconfigured within a Windows user profile.  

 

To test this we logged into the computer using another account (can be a local or domain account) to create a new user profile, configured Outlook with an email address, and then tested the QB email integration.  It worked like a charm.  

 

The solution does 'reset' your user profile so you will lose any personalization settings like wallpaper etc.  

 

I am in no way liable for any missteps you may take while following these instructions.

 

The solution is a bit technical so make sure you either have the skills to succeed or consult someone who does:

 

 - Backup your data, email and email account settings, bookmarks, etc - Take the time to make sure you are thorough.

 

 - Log into the problematic computer with an account that has local admin rights to the computer and that is NOT the account having the email template issue.  

 

 - Rename the problematic windows profile in c:\users to something like <yourprofilename>.old - don't delete it yet.  We'll keep it just in case you backup was not complete.

 

 - Edit the registry (I cannot understate how careful you must be on this step) 

   - HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

   - Expand ProfileList and browse until you find the profile having the issue

   - You can backup this key or just delete it

 

 - Log back into the computer as the user originally having the issue and restore your data.

 

 - Configure Outlook and test QB email integration.  

 

Good luck!

 

Shane.
