Join nowCurrently having an issue with Quickbooks sending emails to Outlook. I get the following error message
"Sending email through Outlook
QuickBooks Desktop is unable to send your email to Outlook.
Close any open Outlook windows and try again. Learn More" (I have already tried all the steps listed under the read more)
Other than Outlook being open, there are no other Outlook windows open. If Outlook is closed (not running at all) and I click on the Email option in Quickbooks, it opens an email and adds it to Outlook like it normally would do, but not if Outlook is open.
We are using Outlook 2016 and Quickbooks Premier 2018.

Recently I've had some e-mail issues and had to reinstall the outlook, but then find that when I click send e-mail from within QuickBooks it opens up a preview page within QuickBooks and sends the e-mail from QuickBooks. I can't see if this e-mail has actually been sent and I would really like to go back to it opening up in my outlook program. Then I had a word with some from QuickBooks @888-381-4232 . He did some troubleshooting which I mentioned below. This actually solved my problem.
1.Open your QuickBooks Desktop company file.
2.Go to the Edit menu and select Preferences.
3.In the Send Forms section, go to My Preferences.
4.Select Outlook or Outlook Express.
5.You can add your email address and click OK to apply for the changes.
