Important Message for Users Experiencing Outlook Issues in QuickBooks

If you're having trouble with Outlook not working in QuickBooks, don't believe the support team when they tell you that you need to purchase Microsoft 365. This is not the case.

After the release of QuickBooks RB 12/22/2025, Outlook may stop working and disappear from the Send Forms Preferences in QuickBooks. You'll only see Web Mail and QuickBooks Mail as options.

To fix this:

  1. Close QuickBooks.

  2. Go to Add or Remove Programs in your Windows settings.

  3. Find QuickBooks in the list and click "Uninstall," but do not fully uninstall it.

  4. Click "Next" and you'll be presented with an option to Repair QuickBooks.

  5. Select "Repair" and once the process is complete, Outlook should reappear in the Send Forms Preferences, working properly again.

This solution should restore your Outlook functionality without needing to purchase additional software.

It appears that they fixed this issue as of this morning with version R18_59.  We are using QB 2024, hosted by RightNetworks with Outlook 32-bit and it is now allowing me to select Outlook as a send method.

Release 18_59 worked for me too last week. But today my Outlook is not working again. I was happy.

Now with QB desktop Release R18_59 exporting reports to Excel no longer function. Only can export to csv. Not sure if this is related to the 32 bit issue; which is what I have for both Outlook and Excel.
