Starting yesterday, QuickBooks desktop pro 2016 will not send invoices through an Outlook.com account. When I hit the button "send" button nothing happens as it use to be asking me for the password. I have verified the settings for server name (smtp-mail.outlook.com) and port (587) and that used to work fine for a few years. I once had an issue when outlook.com changed their server name but couldn't find a change there from Microsoft. I have updated everything in QB and windows with no change. I tried a different email address and that didn't work either although that was also a webmail account. Hopefully someone can help.
