Thanks for joining the thread, @AB_MT. One common cause of email issues in QuickBooks can be version compatibility.

 

To assist you further, is there a specific error message you're seeing? Knowing more details can help pinpoint the issue and provide the best solution.

 

In the meantime, if you're using the 64-bit version of Thunderbird, try switching to the 32-bit version and setting it as your default email client. If that doesn't work, uninstall Thunderbird and reinstall the latest version.

 

Should the problem persist, you can try resetting your email preferences in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). Here's how:

 

  1. Go to Edit menu, then click Preferences.
  2. Select Send Forms.
  3. Under My Preferences tab, choose Thunderbird as your email option.
  4. Once done, click OK.

 

Send a test email from QuickBooks. If you still see an error, toggle your preferences.

 

  1. Go to the Edit menu and then Preferences.
  2. Select Send Forms, then go to the My Preferences tab.
  3. Choose Webmail, and then OK. This toggles your preference off.
  4. Repeat the steps, return to the My Preferences tab and select Thunderbird, then click OK.
  5. Close QuickBooks and any other open programs.
  6. Restart your computer.
