NAV send email error

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I have configured the SMTP settings in our NAV, and confirmed they work using the test function. 

However I receive the error that states:

- The email address "" is not valid.

when I try sending an email from the Posted Sales Invoices page.

The steps I'm following are:

- Select a Posted Sales Invoice

- Click the Action Tab

- Click the email button, which brings up the Edit - Send Email

- Enter the To address, while testing I've just been sending the email to myself (which is exactly what I did when testing the SMTP settings).

- Added a short message

- unchecked Edit in Outlook (I also tested with the Edit in Outlook Checked, which worked, it brought up my Outlook account)

- Clicked Ok

At this point NAV tries to send the email but I get the error.

One thing I noticed is the from address doesn't get filled out in the pop window, since I know my to address is valid I'm think it must be related to the from address, but everywhere I've seen examples of this on the internet the from address was always blank.

Any insight on why this is happening would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,

    Could you paste the code you have used to send the email?

    Run the debugger to check which email address is missing.

    Hi PMTI Group,

    Did you fill in E-Mail for the customer?

    Try to fill the email @ customer card instead of type before send the document... I read a similar issue with NAV 2013 R2...

    I never wrote this code, I believe it's a feature of NAV.

    I did fill in the email for the customer, for testing purpose I just used my own personal email account.

    I will give this a try, but if it can't allow editing the send to field than this may not be a viable feature.  Fortunately I can also keep the edit in outlook checkbox checked and send the email that way.  Thanks.

    Did you receive the same error from different computers? Did you also try with different user roles?

    Let us know...

    I changed the customer card's email to my own so I could test this.  I still received that error.
