Here are the general steps for integrating email with Zoho:

- Create email accounts for users in your organization. You can create accounts like yourname@yourdomain.com.
Step 5. Configure Email Clients:
- To access your Zoho Mail, you can use webmail or configure email clients like Outlook, Thunderbird, or the default mail client on your computer or mobile device.
- Zoho provides IMAP and SMTP settings that you’ll need to configure in your email client.
Step 6. Example IMAP and SMTP settings for Zoho:
- IMAP Settings:
- Incoming Server: imap.zoho.com
- Port: 993

- SMTP Settings:
- Outgoing Server: smtp.zoho.com
