Hi there, Kelper. Thank you for your efforts in trying to resolve your concern. I genuinely appreciate your proactive approach. Let me give some clarity on why you were prompted with a Webmail Authorization window. 

Please note that we removed the screenshot containing your e-mail address for privacy purposes, as the Community forum is a public space.

QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) allows you to send e-mail communications through Web Mail, Outlook, and QuickBooks e-mail.

The appearance of a Webmail Authorization window in QBDT could be due to security updates implemented by Outlook at that time. These are part of an ongoing effort by e-mail services to enhance the security and protection of user accounts from potential threats and unauthorized access. To maintain a high level of security, you need to undergo a reauthorization of your credentials.

Thanks to your comment I just did the same thing and it worked.  I had the same issue as you where picking outlook years ago instead of webmail didn't work and now outlook works and webmail just stopped.  Before I switched it to outlook from webmail I did try deleting my email and reentering it but then I ended up with another error.   Thanks for saving me time because I have been waiting on IT since yesterday.   

I have been sending invoices through QB for years and use outlook. Like you, suddenly it no longer recognizes my outlook email and asks to authorize and goes in circles with no resolution. It wants me to use google. I can send through QB email but not my regular email...

Hello, @cjapeacock! Maintaining a smooth workflow is essential, especially after years of experience with QuickBooks and Outlook. It’s natural to feel a bit thrown off when things don’t go as planned, but we’ll get this sorted out together.

It looks like recent Outlook security updates are causing the Webmail Authorization window to appear. This is a necessary step to maintain the security of your account. Here’s how to reauthorize your Outlook in QuickBooks:

1. Update QuickBooks Desktop to the latest version.
2. Open any transaction or report and click on Email.
3. Click Send, and log in using your Intuit credentials if prompted.
4. In the Webmail Authorization window, click Continue, then select Allow.

If you’d prefer to use Google email for sending invoices, you can find more information in this article: Connect your email to QuickBooks Desktop.

For detailed steps on authorizing your Gmail or Outlook account and adjusting security settings, check out these guides:

• Reauthorize QuickBooks Desktop to use Outlook and Gmail.
• Set up enhanced security in Gmail for QuickBooks Desktop.
