Connecting email provider to QB Desktop for Mac

To connect your Gmail account to QuickBooks Mac, you need to add it to your settings. Here's how:

1. From the top left of your screen, click QuickBooks menu, and select Preferences.               
2. Click the Email icon.
3. From the For sending Email section, select Send directly out of QuickBooks using your Email Account (Add your email account through a separate email service, like Gmail).
   
4. Select Gmail from the Email Provider dropdown and check the Enhance Security box.
5. Follow the prompts to authorize access to your email address, then select OK to get started. 
6. QuickBooks will attempt to validate the connection to your server. If successful, QuickBooks will close the window and display the account in the Email Accounts list.               
    

Once you save your Gmail account, it will automatically appear in your active email addresses. To make it your default sender:              

• If it is the only account listed, QuickBooks Mac will automatically use it for every statement and invoice you send.       

• If you have multiple email addresses listed, check the box next to your Gmail account to designate it as your default.
