Error when trying to email invoices from Quick Books with the pay now link

Hello, @FullHouse.

I've checked from our records and found an ongoing investigation about this error "Outlook cannot log on. Verify you are connected to the network." when sending emails when trying to email invoices form QuickBooks Desktop. Our engineers are now all hands on deck working together to fix the issue as quickly as possible.

As a workaround, you can select Web Mail from the Send Forms Preferences when the box populates. Then, select other in the drop-down and put in Server name: outlook.office365.com Port: 993 Encryption method: SSL and email will send without error. Also, most customers resolve the problem by consulting an IT professional and running an extensive repair on the Microsoft Office components.

For now, I encourage reaching out to our Support Team so you'll be added to the lists of affected users in the current investigation and automatically receive email notification of the latest updates. To contact support, follow the steps provided in this article: Contact the QuickBooks Desktop Customer Support Team.

Yep, that's the error.  FYI, I get the same error in ProSeries when trying to email out of it.  Wonder if it is related since both are Intuit Products.

Yep, that's the error I get.  oddly enough i get the same error when trying to email questions out of ProSeries to clients.  Wonder if similar issue since both are Intuit Products.

FYI, the workaround is not working either.  It keeps saying the password is incorrect, however, I am able to use the same password and login to my account directly using google chrome.  How soon are they planning a fix as right now I am not able to invoice my clients and its killing my cash flow.

We don't want you to feel this inconvenience, @FullHouse.
