I am also concerned about the forthcoming changes with gmail not allowing sign in from third party apps like QuickBooks. As it is now, we have to go in and set up for gmail to allow less secure apps access in order to send an invoice or estimate. This access has to be renewed, or just turned off after sending the form/s and then turn it back on next time.

I do not need to send personal emails to customers directly from QuickBooks - it is easy enough to copy and paste their address into another email app. However, being able to send a standard pre-written email with an attached from is important to me.

I do not have Microsoft Office on the computer I use for QuickBooks, and really don't want more email addresses or apps to manage.

I hope that Intuit is following this topic, because this is a big issue for micro business owners. I am concerned about security, but there has to be a way to make this work.
