Outlook Option Missing in QuickBooks 23 and 24

Incident Report for Rightworks Hosting

Monitoring

The latest version of QuickBooks has resolved this issue. Our engineers deployed this update last night so all users should see Outlook as an option for email again.

If you have switched over to Webmail or QuickBooks Mail as a workaround for this issue, you will need to switch back to Outlook.
