Applies To
This error message can appear when you are adding a new company to AutoEntry and are trying to enter mailbox addresses for the purpose of uploading documents via email.
Cause
When creating a new company, a set of email addresses will be generated automatically to allow you to upload files via email. These will be generated based on the name you have entered for this new company.
On occasion, if another company exists on any account in AutoEntry with a similar name, these email addresses may already be in use by a different company/account. In this case, the error message will appear.
