Over the last couple of years, I've had a number of headaches and unexplainable behavior around this issue. It might not be QuickBase that is the issue. I think that Gmail was blocking the delivery some of the "alias" email addresses we used to use to manage things in QB with our outsourced partner users. I was never able to prove this, but found a work-around in just switching to using our partners' actual email addresses (which are outside of our domain - and used to be a functionality issue in QB). Try some tests by inviting some different email addresses from different domains and see what evidence you can collect. QB support will be more helpful if you do this first and can point out some obvious anomalies to them.
