There is no good technical reason. Intuit could easily have provided a way for you to enter an outgoing SMTP server so you could send emailed invoices directly from your PC. Also, in the 2006 version there was an occasional problem that meant that when one tried to send invoices it would sometimes hang while trying to contact a, presumably, unobtainable IP address. . The only way I found of clearing this was to close Quickbooks, reopen and send again. I was disappointed that this 'feature' has been carried over to the 2009 edition.

My current workaround is printing it to my adobe converter and then emailing the file as an attachment.

I was told that the 2009 version will not allow me to send invoices from QB, so I'd be paying $200 to have less features. I wish there was a way to link my mail client to QB 2006, so when I hit mail invoice it would fire up Thunderbird and send the PDF. My QB stopped sending invoices yesterday, 6 days early. So I spent last night setting up a new process for sending out invoices and price quotes. Thanks Intuit, how robust is Freshbooks?
