# **Fix "QuickBooks.com Error" When Emailing Invoices (Step-by-Step Guide)**

If you're seeing a **"QuickBooks.com Error"** when trying to email invoices from QuickBooks Desktop, follow these solutions to resolve the issue:

---

## **Common Causes & Quick Fixes**
### **1. QuickBooks Email Service Outage**
   - Check Intuit’s server status: **[QuickBooks Service Status](https://quickbooks.intuit.com/support/status/)**
   - If Intuit’s email servers are down, wait or **send invoices manually** (Save as PDF → Email).

### **2. Incorrect Email Settings in QuickBooks**
   - Go to: **Edit → Preferences → Send Forms → My Preferences**
   - Ensure:
     - **QuickBooks Email** is selected (if using Intuit’s SMTP).
     - **Webmail (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.)** or **Microsoft Outlook** is configured correctly.
   - For **Gmail/Yahoo users**:
     - Enable **"Less Secure Apps"** (or use an **App Password** if 2FA is on).

### **3. Outdated QuickBooks Version**
   - Update QuickBooks:
     - **Help → Update QuickBooks Desktop → Update Now**

   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   


   - Restart QuickBooks after updating.

### **4. Corrupted Program Files**
   - **Run QuickBooks Tool Hub** (Download from [Intuit’s official site](https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/help-articles/quickbooks-tool-hub/))
     - Use the **Program Problems** tool to repair installation.

### **5. Firewall/Antivirus Blocking QuickBooks**
   - Temporarily disable **Windows Firewall/Antivirus** to test.
   - Add QuickBooks as an **exception** in security software.

### **6. PDF Attachment Issues**
   - QuickBooks needs a working PDF printer to attach invoices.
   - Test: **File → Print → Save as PDF**.
   - If PDF fails, reinstall **Microsoft Print to PDF** (Windows) or **QuickBooks PDF Converter**.

### **7. Outlook Not Set as Default (If Using Outlook)**
   - Go to **Windows Settings → Apps → Default Apps → Email** → Set **Outlook** as default.
   - Repair Outlook:  
     - **Control Panel → Programs → Microsoft Office → Change → Quick Repair**.

---

## **Advanced Fixes**
### **8. Rebuild QuickBooks Data Files**
   - Go to: **File → Utilities → Rebuild Data** (Back up first!).
   - Restart QuickBooks and retry sending.

### **9. Use a Different Email Method**
   - Switch from **QuickBooks Email** to **Webmail (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.)** or **Outlook**.
   - **Manual Workaround:** Save invoice as PDF → Email manually.

### **10. Contact QuickBooks Support**
   - If the error persists, call **QuickBooks Support** or use **QuickBooks Tool Hub** for diagnostics.

## **Final Tips**
✅ **Always back up your company file before making changes.**  
✅ **Try sending a test invoice to a different email address.**  
✅ **Check for Windows updates (Outdated OS can cause issues).**
