Now, what if we wanted to configure Zoho Mail in Apple Mail? When you have multiple mail accounts, it is recommended that you configure your mails in Apple Mail or Outlook. Even though this tutorial is based on Apple Mail, you can still configure Zoho Mails on other Email Clients like Outlook.

If you have a company email address, your Incoming Server is imappro.zoho.com and if you are using a free Zoho Mail account, your incoming Server is imap.zoho.com.
