Welcome to the thread, @kam8199.

Let me get the help you need in setting up your account so you can email estimate and other forms in QuickBooks Desktop.

Before doing so, you'll first need to ensure to connect your email to QuickBooks in which you can send the transaction through Webmail or Outlook. And make sure you're using Outlook 2010 or newer and you have an Outlook email profile.

Once verified, you can follow back again the steps provided by my colleague Emily M above. You may also check out this article for detailed instructions about the process: Connect your email to QuickBooks Desktop.

Let me know how it goes or if you have any additional questions when emailing transactions. I'll be happy to help you out
