Can anyone help with sending invoices was working fine yesterday now I get incorrect credentials or Gmail settings

Hi @akvictory,

I got your back in this query. I'll share a few steps so you can get your secure webmail working and you'll be able to send invoices again.

1. The first thing I can suggest is to update your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) to the latest release. 
2. Open Gmail, and check your settings and filter preferences.
   • Enable access for less secure apps.
   • Set access preferences for QBDT.
3. Go back to QBDT, and send a test email to your email address.
4. Check your antivirus software as it could also block the connection. 

Additional details on this process can be found in this article: Fix webmail password issues in QuickBooks Desktop.

You also have the option to connect a different email to your QBDT. One example would be Outlook, and other email providers. See this article for the steps: Connect your email to QuickBooks Desktop.

Do you need further assistance? Feel free to place a comment below, and I'll get back to you. 

I have the same problem.   Friday was fine to email.   Monday is not.

I have: (1) reset my QB update and re-updated; (2) confirmed port 587 is in use and open; (3) confirmed the accuracy of my mail password (first QB email of the day requires me to re-enter password); (4) made my google account accept less secure apps; (5) checked "send forms" in preferences; (6) checked ("intergrated applications" in preferences - mail program not an option.

I use Desktop.

Good work for doing the basic steps to fix the issue, OK Fire.

I have another step that we can try. Let's repair QuickBooks. This fixes program-related issues. Before doing the process, let's create a backup copy of your company file to avoid data loss. Then, here's how to repair the program:

1. Click the Windows or Start button.
2. Go to Control Panel.
3. Select Programs and Features (Note: If you don't see this option, click Programs, then select Program Features).
4. Click QuickBooks in the list of programs.
5. Select Uninstall/Change.
6. Click Continue, then Next.
7. Select Repair, then Next.
8. Wait for the repair to complete, then click Finish.
9. Restart your computer if prompted. 

Once done, check the email preferences and ensure it's correctly setup. Then, create an invoice and send it.

You can get back to this thread if you need more help. We'll be right here for you.

Thanks for being so quick to respond.  No luck.  I was not prompted to restart computer (so didn't).  After repair, port is still 587.  I do get a pop up within QB which says if it isn't working, click here... that link is this support.google.com/accounts/answer6010255?hl=en     This is where I learned about app access and I reduced the security.  Next suggestion?!
