## IMAP / SMTP server settings

| Protocol             | Server          | Port | Encryption |
| -------------------- | --------------- | ---- | ---------- |
| **IMAP**             | `imap.zoho.com` | 993  | SSL/TLS    |
| **SMTP**             | `smtp.zoho.com` | 465  | SSL/TLS    |

<Note>
  Free and paid plans use the same servers. For custom domain mail (e.g. `@yourdomain.com`), confirm your domain is verified in Zoho.

## Frequently asked questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Does Zoho Free work with IMAP?">
    Yes — Zoho Mail's free tier supports IMAP/SMTP. Enable IMAP in **Zoho Mail Settings** → **Mail Accounts** → **IMAP Access** before connecting.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why is my IMAP login failing?">
    Zoho requires an app-specific password if you have 2FA enabled (recommended). Generate it in **Zoho Accounts** → **Security** → **App Passwords** and use that instead of your login password.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does it support custom domains hosted on Zoho?">
    Yes — use your custom-domain email address (e.g. `you@yourcompany.com`) as the username with the standard `imap.zoho.com` / `smtp.zoho.com` hosts. Confirm the domain is verified in Zoho.
