Add your Zoho Mail account to Apple Mail to send and receive Zoho email from your Mac. Apple Mail uses IMAP to sync your messages and folders. If you use Zoho’s current free plan, you can access your mailbox through Zoho webmail.
Add Zoho Mail to Apple Mail
- Open the Mail app on your Mac and choose Mail → Add Account from the menu bar.
- Enter your full Zoho email address and click Continue. If Mail shows a list of providers, choose Other Mail Account.
- Enter the name you want recipients to see and your password. If you’ve enabled two-factor authentication, use a Zoho app password.
- If Mail asks for manual settings or can’t verify the account automatically, select IMAP as the account type and enter the incoming and outgoing server details.
- Click Sign In. If macOS asks which apps to use with the account, make sure Mail is selected.
Zoho Mail IMAP and SMTP settings for Apple Mail
To find the exact server names for your account, sign in to Zoho Mail on the web and open Settings → Mail Accounts → your primary email address.
| Setting | Incoming Mail (IMAP) | Outgoing Mail (SMTP) |
|---|---|---|
| Host name | imappro.zoho.eu | smtppro.zoho.eu |
| Username | Your full Zoho email address | The same email address |
| Password | Your Zoho password or app password | The same password |
| Port | 993 | 465 |
| Use TLS/SSL | On | On |
If you don’t see port fields during setup, check them after signing in under Mail → Settings → Accounts → Zoho → Server Settings. To enter a port manually, turn off Automatically manage connection settings for the relevant server. Then send a test message to another address you can access and reply from that address to verify both directions.
Troubleshooting
- Mail can’t verify your account. Check that IMAP access is enabled in Zoho. Verify your full email address and incoming server name, and use a Zoho app password if two-factor authentication is enabled.
- Messages stay in the Outbox. In Server Settings, open Edit SMTP Server List. Check that the Zoho account uses the correct SMTP server with port
465,TLS/SSLenabled, and your Zoho sign-in details.
