Enabling IMAP Access for my Zoho Email

To use a Zoho email with Overjoy, you will need to connect it as an IMAP email.
You will need to enable IMAP access for the email you are trying to connect to Zoho for this to work.

If not set up, you may encounter errors such as "Server Not Connected" or "Invalid Password" even when you have entered the correct password.

STEP 1: Enable IMAP

Follow the Zoho guide to enable IMAP

STEP 2: Create an 'App Specific Password'

Zohomail now requires users to create an App Specific Password to use IMAP, especially if they have Two-Factor Authentication enabled.

Follow the Zoho guide to create an App Specific Password


STEP 3: Apply the correct server settings

As per the Zoho IMAP guide, you should use the following settings to sync your email on Overjoy:

  • Personal users with an email address as [email protected] and Free Organization users:

    • IMAP Host: imap.zoho.com

    • IMAP Port: 993

    • SMTP Host: smtp.zoho.com

    • SMTP Port: 465 or 587 (try 465 first)

  • Paid Organization users with a domain-based email address, [email protected]:

    • IMAP Host: imappro.zoho.com

    • IMAP Port: 993

    • SMTP Host: smtppro.zoho.com

    • SMTP Port: 465 or 587 (try 465 first)
