POP or Post Office Protocol enables you to access the emails in any email client of your choice. POP performs one-way email retrieval and there is no sync between the email clients and server. Zoho Mail can be configured in any standard POP email client providing the POP and SMTP server settings. You need to enable POP access of the account, before configuring the Zoho Mail account in any email client. The step by step instruction for some of the popular email clients is provided in the links below. Outlook | Thunderbird | Apple Mac Mail | Blackberry IMAP or Internet Message Access Protocol can also be used in place of POP. IMAP and POP are both email protocols that allow you to read your emails in third-party applications such as Outlook, Thunderbird etc. While Zoho Mail supports both IMAP and POP, IMAP has more advantages over the POP method. Click here to know more about IMAP. You need to enable POP access of the Zoho Mail account, to start accessing the account in other POP clients. You can enable POP access for all emails from the beginning or from that particular day. You can configure Zoho Mail account in any standard POP client using the POP details provided below. The complete Zoho account email address should be provided correctly in both the email address field and the username field. In case you have Two Factor Authentication turned on, generate and use an application specific password in the email client. Incoming Server Settings: (Personal Users with email address as username@zoho.com) Incoming Server Name: pop.zoho.inPort: 995Require SSL: Yes Username: username@zoho.com Incoming Server Settings: (Organization Users with domain based email address you@yourdomain.com) Incoming Server Name: poppro.zoho.inPort: 995Require SSL: Yes Username: you@yourdomain.com Outgoing Server Settings: Outgoing Server Name: smtp.zoho.inPort: 465, SSL orPort: 587, TLSRequire Authentication: Yes Username: Your complete Zoho Mail account email address. If your domain is hosted with Zoho, then provide you@yourdomain.com here. EmailAddress:: Your complete Zoho Mail account email address. If your domain is hosted with Zoho, provide you@yourdomain.com. Password: Your Zoho account password You may require Application Specific password to set up the account in other devices if Two Factor Authentication is enabled for your account. Note: If you are a Federated Sign In user, you will not have a 'Zoho' password for your account. Use the Forgot Password link in the accounts.zoho.in page, to generate Zoho specific password for your account in Zoho. The Federated Login credentials will not work for POP/ IMAP/ Active Sync access. You can choose to include Spam messages for POP retrieval. Zoho Mail provides options to include Spam messages or to retrieve only Spam emails for POP retrieval. If you rely completely on your email client, and when some of the emails which you receive from your known contacts, get classified as Spam due to various reasons, you can include Spam emails for POP retrieval. You can choose to delete emails from Server or leave the messages in Server when the email downloaded via POP is marked for deletion. When you choose 'Delete emails from Server' in the POP clients, the client marks the email for deletion in the server and removes it from the POP queue. However, in Zoho Mail, you can choose to retain the email in the server even if the client marks the email for deletion. You can disable POP access of your account, anytime you choose to stop POP retrieval. Note: For newly signed up users (Free plan), POP Access feature will not be available.
