Well I am not able to help you.  
But I can give a work around.

You can print to PDF then send the PDF in a Email.

I hope that you get your problem resolved.

(Edit)  
Was it working before?  
If so what changed? (Update, New Username, Different Email Sender.)

I have tried all suggested areas options as per your guides with no success. This function worked well before then the problem arose - i then loaded a gmail addy worked for 2 months the same error message appears.

these are the messages 1. outlook \*\*An error occurred while attempting to establish an SSL or TLS connection. The server’s SSL certificate could not be validated for the following reasons: • The server certificate has the following errors: • The revocation function was unable to check revocation for the certificate.\*\*2 Gmail 535: 5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted.

Hi eko,  
I seem to be having an issue with the steps provided. I was able to enable two-step verification in my microsoft account and create an app password as mentioned in the steps, but I still receive the following message (see picture) I have tried to delete all app passwords, and recreating new and reinserting into manager, still same message.

I am getting tired of asking for this , but without the necessary information as also epxlained in the FAQ at [FAQ - Manager Forum](https://forum.manager.io/faq) you can not be helped, i.e:

> **Be specific.** Do not just tell us a feature does not work. Explain what you have done and why you think there is an issue. If your question relates to an apparent software problem (rather than an accounting topic), tell us your operating system (including the version), Manager edition (desktop, server, or cloud), and exactly what you think is wrong. If possible, post screen shots illustrating the problem.

You most likely suffer from a cache issue (I reported this elsewhere as could not clear) and thus if using Cloud or Server open in another browser that you have not used manager in before. When using Desktop you first need to right-click on settings and open in a browser. Then you copy the link from that browser in another one that was not used before with Manager.

In both cases you must first delete the smtp settings in full and then create a new one with the app generated password.
