QuickBooks Desktop Trouble Emailing Invoices

I recently set up payments through QBs Desktop so I may email invoices my customers and have them pay via ACH.  However, I continue to get a message, "Couldn't Connect to Email Server." I have a GoDaddy email using MS365 so I have selected "other" email.  Can someone help me please?
