Direct Connect Bank Mail messages from Wells Fargo continually reappear after being deleted.

pecopie

I have this issue, and I others have as well [see Chuck_H March 2022 "Bank messages from Wells Fargo Bank continually reappear after being deleted." in HOME› QUICKEN FOR MAC› DOWNLOAD, ADD/UPDATE ACCOUNTS (MAC) and see hbravo May 2022 "Direct Connect Bank Mail" in HOME› QUICKEN FOR MAC› ERRORS AND TROUBLESHOOTING (MAC)]. Would GREATLY appreciate support to remedy this. To quote hbravo... "Good Evening, Is there a way to turn off mail download in Direct Connect? I currently have about 1,000 messages in my direct connect bank mail. It seems the same few emails keep downloading in multiples every time I download transactions. Some messages date back to 2020. The process to delete these messages - click the can and confirm the pop-up takes forever with so many messages." I would add that even after clicking delete, the emails are not deleted and the several hundred reappear each time I update accounts. According to Chuck_H, the moderator's recommendation to Deactivate and then Reactivate all the accounts did not succeed.

I'm having the same issue. It will take hours to clear out all the mail.

I have the same issue. Is there a way to stop the same messages from downloading daily?

Could you please provide some screenshots of the messages that are continuously appearing (with all private information blurred our redacted)?

This will assist us further in our investigation. 

Thanks!

@QuickenJasmine Here is a screen shot. The actual message appears to the right, but has identifiable information. It is the same message I have received daily since July 2021; coincidentally, it is about enrolling in Quicken. Now, when updating accounts, it pops up in a separate window. It would be great if:
1. there was an option in preferences to not download direct mail bank messages. OR
2. simply prevent all bank messages from being downloaded. I can get them when logging into my bank account

Moreover, if neither can be done, there should be:
A. a way to "delete all" rather than trying to delete the hundreds of the same message one by one.
B. An end to the recent inclusion of these in a separate window that opens whenever updating accounts (I don't want them merged into my account update window either). Thanks.

@quickenJasmine Here is a Screen shot. These 4 messages come to my Bank Direct Connect Email each time I update my accounts.

Same issue started with latest Quicken update 6.11.2 and continues in 6.11.3 - mine relates to a message from 2/2/2022 about Closed Bill Pay Funding Account. Have gone through and reviewed each one, tried deleting, new ones of the same 2/2/22 message are in the list if I update. Using Direct Connect. Checked the properties and Bill Pay was enabled, so disabled it because do not use it and did not make any difference. Called Wells Fargo and they believe it is a Quicken issue, called Quicken and they blame Wells Fargo. Did not start doing this until the latest update for me.

here's screen shot. there are only 2 versions of the emails (one is 3/30/19, other is 5/1/19. There are probably 1,000 copies of the 3/30/19 email. Every time I do an update, an additional copy of the 5/1/19 appears.

Alan Grobman

I don't use Quicken Bill Pay through Quicken anyway - so disconnected and reconnected using Quicken Connect - and no longer an issue - appears to be a Direct Connect issue

I get this message every time I update my accounts. I have received it every update since Feb 2022 and just clear them out from time to time. I just finished deleting 128 copies of this same message. Quicken says it's a bank problem. The bank says it's a Quicken problem. I gave up trying to get someone to stop this message from generating, but now it doesn't only do it in the background -- it pops up! There has got to be a way to prevent it from popping up even if I can't stop it. Come on, Quicken.

Dublin

Same problem. Hundreds of copies of same message from 2022. I'm not sure I can even delete them at this point.

wilderaz

Any progress? The same four messages appear with every download and accumulate unless deleted.

I am having this same issue. More than 1000 messages and the screen comes up every time I connect to update my accounts. The messages are all from 6/29/2019 or 12/29/2018. I never got this prior to the last SW update last week. I contacted Quicken and they're trying to tell me to call my bank. This cannot be a bank problem. It is definitely a Quicken problem. There has to be some way to delete these with out doing each one separately

I too am a frustrated 20+ year Quicken user dealing with this issue. As others mentioned, it only started being in your face popping up EVERY CONNECTION since the last update. I use Quicken connect for the affected account, so it is not a direct connect issue in my case. I have thousands of these messages dating back to mid-2019. I deleted all the messages in my bank message system, yet the old ones continue to propagate with every download.

I have been on the phone with quicken and wells fargo and WF said they haven't had the account notification for a couple years. Interesting to me is that I had to reset my WF password due to a breach and there's one mysterious account with dates 4/8/20, 11/1/22 (scam) and 11/17/22 that asked for my old name/password. told about this msg to confirm that it isn't something I broke : )

Wells Fargo closed my case on 17Jan2023! Wells Fargo denied any responsibility and referred me Quicken!

How do you delete these Wells Fargo Mail messages in Quicken for Mac?

Select the message, click on the trash can near the top center of the message, hit enter/return, repeat.

pecopie

Hi @Snakeyes. Yes, that's how to delete them. Very cumbersome for hundreds or thousands of duplicate emails. Even more distressing is that after manually deleting them, they slowly repopulate each time you do an update.

Snakeyes

Thanks, that trash can is so tiny! I just missed it.

Snakeyes

Now that I have deleted all those messages using the little trash can icon, I get ONE Wells Fargo 8/20/2022 mail message every time I do a transaction update. 8/20/2022 was the first day I started my Wells Fargo Direct Connect connection and did my first transaction update. Do y'all get the same Wells Fargo mail message using Quicken Connect?

mwreagan

Yes I do, Snakeyes. I have the same problem. Dated from Wells Fargo Direct Connect day one, 2/23/22. And now it pops up every time I do a transaction update. Grrrrr.

Snakeyes

Does Quicken have a case number for this error?

judyhenderson

I have the same problem and it is taking forever to delete the messages. I have 100s of duplicate messages. If I get rid of them all will it stop happening?

No, but you likely have many redundancies so the amount that reappear in any given download will probably be far less than what you're deleting now.

pecopie

FYI, I have 2 distinct emails that replicate. One of them is from 5/1/19, the other is from 3/30/3019. About a month or so ago I manually deleted the hundreds (thousands? who knows?) of all the 5/1/19 emails. Since then, every time I do an update, that email repopulates. I have about 60 copies now. I probably have thousands of the 3/30/19 email, and I know there are more iterations daily. So, to answer your question @judyhenderson, based on my experience, if you delete the offending emails, it will not stop happening.
