Let's perform additional steps so you can send invoices through Gmail using QuickBooks Desktop for Mac, @Paintamerican.

To start with, let's check the system requirements to make sure your email account is compatible with your QuickBooks version. For more information, go through this article: System Requirements.

Then, let's make sure your Gmail account is the default email reader from the Apple Mail menu. This ensures the program sends your sales forms through the default email account. I'll show you how.

Select Apple Mail.
Choose Preferences.
On the Preferences pane, click General.
Confirm Gmail is your default email account. If not, set your default email reader to Gmail.

Also, you can go back to your Preferences to make sure Gmail is your default email reader by performing the steps below.

Go to QuickBooks from the top menu.
Select Preferences.
Click the Email icon.
Configure QuickBooks to talk to Gmail.

Once done, email your invoices again. For detailed steps, see page 228 through this website: QuickBooks for Mac. This link also contains step-by-step instructions to help you effectively manage your income, expenses, lists, items, accounts, banking, and your company file.

I'm just a comment away if you need further assistance. Have a great day, @Paintamerican.

Hey there, @Paintamerican. Glad to see you here in the Community.

I'm here to help you get your Invoices sent in QuickBooks for Mac. The error message you're receiving indicates that the Username and Password specified in your Preferences isn't matching the sign in info of your email address. I recommend ensuring your login info for your email is correct. Doing this is super easy and takes just a moment. Check it out:

Go to the QuickBooks menu, then Preferences.
Click the Email icon.
From Send Emails Using, hit Custom.
A list of Email Accounts will appear. If you haven't added any email accounts to QuickBooks, this list will be empty.
Select the + button to add a new account.
Add an account a name, then add the settings from your email provider.
Repeat for any other accounts you’d like to add.

That's it! Keep me posted here by using the Reply button. I want to ensure you get back to business in no time. Have a great week ahead!

Has anyone successfully resolved this error? I am using quickbooks desktop 2019 and recently updated and no longer able to send invoices or quotes through gmail. I see i am not the only one. Help!! I have tried all the suggested replies and no solution. Thanks

Let's get this working so you can send your invoices or quotes again, jnh2.

Before we do any troubleshooting steps, I'd recommend updating your QuickBooks Desktop to the latest release. This would usually minor issues. After that, we can do the Verify and Rebuild process to determine whether your company file is damaged or not.

If you're still unable to send your invoices or quotes, there's a possibility that the Gmail profile in QuickBooks is damaged. We can delete and recreate it to refresh the setup:

Click Edit at the top menu and select Preferences.
In the Preferences window, select Send Forms and go to the My Preferences tab.
Highlight the gmail profile and click Delete.
Confirm the action.
After that, you can reconnect your Gmail account.

This article might help if you're using the 2-step verification or the secure app access: Gmail couldn’t sign you in from QuickBooks Desktop.

Let me know how this goes so we can assist you more if necessary.
