How to fix QuickBooks email invoice not working issue after update?

Troubleshooting Solutions:

If QuickBooks is not allowing you to email invoices, follow these steps to resolve the issue:

  1. Check Email Preferences:

    • Open QuickBooks and go to Edit > Preferences > Send Forms.
    • Ensure that the correct email provider is selected.
    • Verify that your email settings are correct, including the email address, server name, and port number.
  2. Update QuickBooks:

    • Make sure your QuickBooks is updated to the latest version. Go to Help > Update QuickBooks Desktop and install any available updates. This can resolve compatibility issues with email servers.
  3. Check Email Security Settings:

    • If you're using Gmail, Outlook, or another email service, check the security settings. Some email providers may block QuickBooks if they detect unusual activity.
    • For Gmail, ensure that "Allow less secure apps" is enabled, or consider setting up 2-step verification and using an app-specific password.
  4. Repair QuickBooks Installation:

    • Go to Control Panel > Programs and Features and select QuickBooks.
    • Click on Uninstall/Change, then select Repair to fix any installation issues that might be causing the email problem.
  5. Use Webmail Instead:

    • If your desktop email isn’t working, switch to webmail in QuickBooks settings by going to Send Forms > Web Mail.
    • Enter your email credentials, and try sending the invoice again.
